Walls For Governor

What if we had a strong energy bill to create 5 million green jobs, reduce carbon emissions by using clean, renewable energy, and prevent new coal plants from being built? This is part of the message that 1Sky, William “Dock” Walls, and other climate control and grassroots organizers are delivering during their beach party press conference at 10 a.m. Mon. August 10 in the atrium lower level at 1727 S. Indiana Chicago IL 60616.

IL gubernatorial candidate William Walls proclaims with 1Sky, “Illinois constituents are turning up the heat on U.S. Senators Roland Burris and Dick Durbin to support a strong clean energy bill for the nation that includes climate control and 5 million green jobs.”

There’s only one sky. “One Climate, One Future, One Chance now to save the planet,“ according to 1Sky organizers, environmentalists, and a diverse grassroots united for climate control, clean energy, green jobs, and blue skies that future generations can count on.

With Chicago being a city high in asthma and carbon emissions with high unemployment and energy costs, the nonpartisan 1Sky Chicago Regional Group will announce its rally to be held later in August on the federal rally outside the offices of Senators Burris and Durbin.

The group wants Congress to pass a strong clean energy bill and plan to meet with the senators to discuss their issues with the ACES (American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009) House bill and how the Senate can pass the best energy bill possible to demonstrate that environmental justice, the well-being of the people and protection of the planet is paramount to pleasing polluters from Big Oil, Dirty Coal, and other industries with high carbon emissions.

Attending are a diverse, nonpartisan contingency that represent disability advocacy groups; the Walls for IL Governor Campaign; children who need clean energy and protection from asthma attacks induced by dirty fuel and coal plants; community organizers; unemployed American workers and individuals from the disability community who need some of the five million green jobs for which 1Sky is advocating.

According to Dr. Ayo Maat, “People who are disabled have the lowest employment rate of any group in the nation.”
