Help! We need climate activists to target Naperville. Renewing a coal-dominant electricity contract with IMEA years before a decision needs to be made is a mistake for public health.

With apologies for using AI, I think this cartoon reflects what Naperville's decision to re-up their IMEA contract will do.
Let the City Council know that we should not renew our coal-dominant IMEA contract. It's time for a renewable energy future: council@naperville.il.us
Sign the petition advocating for Naperville to end its addiction to coal-fired electricity:

Trump just withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement.
The US now joins Iran, Libya, and Yemen as the only countries in the world not in the agreement.
Please join me at the #Naperville City Council meeting TOMORROW, Tuesday, Jan 21 at 6:30pm and wear RED! Let's collectively say no to coal!
Trump wants to rewrite history and DOESN’T WANT YOU SEEING THIS:
He wants you to think that he’s going to be this so called “savior of TikTok” — but on August 7th, 2020, by Executive Order he started the whole entire TikTok ban conversation.
Awesome!
Trump plans large immigration raid in Chicago on Tuesday – report
Breaking News: The incoming Trump administration intends to carry out immigration raids in Chicago next week, according to people familiar with the plan.
To be clear, our entire planetary system is telling Naperville to say no to coal.
More public green space is wonderful as is better public transit, which MUST include a new Pink Line station. But let’s also include plans for native plantings to support biodiversity and renewable energy sources to fight climate change. Build the future!

The first paragraph tells an absolutely sickening story.
Zuckerberg's emulation of Elon Musk and Twitter is alienating the very users Threads was built to attract.
#Naperville gets ~80% of its power from climate-destroying, coal-fired electricity supplied by #IMEA. The City Council is now considering a 30-year extension to its IMEA contract. We cannot let City Hall abet planetary destruction. Tell the Council to say NO to IMEA: council@naperville.il.us
We know Donald Trump will betray his promise to working people. He’s done it before and he’ll do it again.
Democrats are the ones fighting for working people against the billionaires trying to rig this country.
It’s our job to make sure voters hear this message everywhere.
