Dear friends,

We want to take a moment to THANK YOU for being an important partner of 350 Chicago, and to reflect on some incredible achievements made possible by members and supporters like you.

So far this year, we have:

• Won a major divestment victory, when the Chicago City Council unanimously passed its divestment ordinance in March. This was the culmination of 7 years of campaigning, which is why we’re still celebrating!

• Co-hosted a Global Climate Strike in Chicago, bringing together ~400 people to demand an end to fossil fuel financing and a halt to Joe Manchin’s Dirty Deal. And then the Dirty Deal failed, because of voices like ours and our allies across the country!  You can see the video of the action here!

• Contributed to the National Fossil Free Fed Campaign, which helped push the Federal Reserve to start assessing banks’ climate risks.

• Received our very first grant, allowing us to hire our first (part-time) staffer soon! Our new hire will enable us to take a leading role in the People vs Fossil Fuels campaign.

We are small but effective, and we truly could not have achieved so much without you. As the climate crisis rages on, you give us hope. We are so grateful to have you on our side.

With gratitude,

350 Chicago
