This will also be my farewell to Springfield party since I'm moving to southern Illinois to fight fracking and promote a just energy transition. If you like the work I'm doing, or have done in the past (or would just like to see me get out of town) this would be the time to show your appreciation! Funds will support efforts to organize on fracking, environmental justice for Illinois extraction regions, and help launch an online & print journal covering the movement while exposing dirty polluters and their enabling politicians.
Suggested donation: $30 per person or $50/couple.
Or $5 for low-budget activists. I would like everyone to come even if you don't make a big donation.
Plus silent auction.
"In the throes of a coal mining rush and impending fracking disaster, downstate Illinois needs deeply rooted community organizers, investigative reporters and voices of clarity like Will Reynolds. We've reached a turning point in the heartland. With your support, and Will's long-time experience, citizens groups and environmental organizations will be able to grow the movement for a sustainable future." - Jeff Biggers
"This is a critical time for the health and land of Southern Illinois. We are under an onslaught from the coal industry, under the imminent threat of fracking, and preparing to once again fight logging on the Shawnee National Forest. There is considerable energy among the residents of the region and within our grassroots environmental groups. My work with Will Reynolds makes me believe that he will be a crucial force for channeling that energy to stop these extractive industries." - Sam Stearns
