#NoAmerenShutoffs is a $0 campaign of 46 member organizations. We won 3 statewide moratoria, w/ holes that @GovPritzker has not acted to stop. We passed resolutions w/ the @MaconCountyDems, @ChampaignCoDems, @mcdondem & @CityOfUrbana which ALL call on JB to stop utility shutoffs.
On Sept 2nd, the @MaconCountyDems passed the resolution linked below & in the below images.

@CentILDSA & @Decaturdefence spoke strongly in support as voting members. Again, thank you @MaconCountyDems for being the 1st to stand up for Illinoisan& #39;s safety!

@ChambanaDSA & @UIUCYDSA showed up as voting members. @ChampaignCoDems voted to pass the resolution (chaired by @CarolAmmons4IL) after they saw the holes in our moratorium.

@UCIMC is part of a national movement from 2000 in response to defunding of arts & consolidation of corporate media.

They just published the #NoAmerenShutoffs September press release here in the Public i:
