LIHEAP Town Hall Meeting
Published: June 24, 2015
On Monday, June 29th at 6 p.m. at Antioch Missionary Baptist Church (6248 S. Stewart), Senator Collins, Senator Mattie Hunter, Representative Esther Golar, and the Englewood Coalition AD-HOC Group will hold a town hall meeting to discuss one of the ways in which hundreds of thousands of families and seniors will suffer if the governor's proposals take effect. Gov. Rauner intends to eliminate the state's Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, which helps 300,000 Illinois residents afford their utility bills, avoiding the health risks of extreme heat and cold.
Hear from the experts, ask questions and tell your elected officials what energy assistance means to you or your neighbors! Please also consider joining the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus on Thursday, from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at Chicago State University (Douglas Hall) for a rally against the Rauner cuts. And don't forget to call the governor at (312) 814-2121 or write to him here to voice your opinion about his attack on social services from LIHEAP to breast cancer screenings to summer jobs for at-risk youth and many more.
