Hey @GovPritzker , remember when you came to our community and campaigned on safe access to the outdoors and clean parks? Your @ILEPA is considering a 5 year operating permit to a facility that will do the exact opposite. Will you keep your word Governor, or burden us for years?
This afternoon, we helped out at the McKinley Park Cleanup. Every child in Illinois should have safe access to the outdoors and clean parks. Rauner cut funding for conservation programs and has failed to uphold Illinois’ longstanding commitment to conservation.

Thanks to everyone who joined for #AdvocacyDay for #ceja & to stop #coalash! Even the rain didn’t stop our rally and the RECORD attendance meant that it was hard to get everyone in the group photo! #twill @ILCleanJobs @ilenviro

.@Marie4Congress at the @SunriseSWChi town hall proposes green workforce training, utilizing those workers on projects, and executing those projects in a prioritized way. The #GreenNewDeal is a realistic plan for #IL03.
.@jtorrez_14 says, “What’s killing us all is things we can’t see.” It’s important to pay attention to all the pollution—diesel fumes, airplane pollutants, dust particulates, and more, especially here on the southwest side. @SunriseSWChi

This bold platform will mark a new standard in how we govern ourselves and our economy. We’re ready #sunrisechicago
With the framework drafted by @EdMarkey and @AOC, the #GreenNewDeal will "deliver a transition that leaves no one behind." @SunriseSWChi says this will be the boldest policy since FDR's New Deal.
