Dear Sierra Club Member,

You are invited to a special listening session -- Community Choice-Reinvesting in the Heartland -- presented by our partners, Shawnee Hills and Hollers and Eco-Justice Collaborative. 

Together you will explore possibilities to create communities in economic, environmental, and socioeconomic sustainability in Illinois.

The presentation illustrates how an economy based primarily on coal has significant social cost and long term liabilities. Following is a Q&A and open discussion for alternatives to create vibrant and diversified economies.
