Friend,
Over the summer, as intense heat waves and severe storms roiled the planet, Congress passed a large budget reconciliation bill that included handouts to oil, gas and coal companies, while gutting programs that help communities survive the disasters caused by fossil fuel pollution, ranging from hurricane tracking to food assistance. Given the federal government’s continued efforts to undermine climate solutions, local climate action is more important than ever. As 350.org’s Executive Director has noted, “all eyes will now be on cities and states to drive progress towards affordable clean energy and a safe, healthy future for all.”
350 Chicago continues our efforts to fight the climate crisis in Illinois, and we need your support to keep our positive momentum going! This September, become a 350 Chicago Climate Sustainer. For as low as 11 cents per day, you can commit to supporting year-round climate action and a transition to a fossil-free future.
350 Chicago has established a track record of success over the last 10 years as one of the leading climate justice organizations in the city, but we can’t do this without our committed Climate Sustainers. After succeeding in getting Chicago to divest from fossil fuels, we turned our ambitions to the state, and our campaign has been steadily making progress.
