Gas bills are rising across Chicago — but why, and what can we do about it? In January of 2026, Peoples Gas proposed raising rates once again. This increase, if granted, would raise monthly gas bills by an average of $10.60 per month. Peoples Gas rates will have increased by 71% in just 4 years.

Join your neighbors on March 26th at 6:30 PM at Spiteful Brewing for an informative and action-focused evening!

This community gathering will break down what’s behind the recent Peoples Gas rate hike filing, how it could impact your household budget, and what steps you can take to reduce costs now and in the future. This event will kick-start a more regular series on affordability and other community-wide issues.

Come meet and mingle with neighbors, learn about this important issue, and find out how we can work together to protect our community. Food will be provided!

We hope to see you there! Kids, families, and friends are welcome.
