Thank you @RepChrisWelch for speaking on the importance of including people experiencing incarceration in our democracy for Chicago Votes Education Fund. Now, we've got to pass #VotingInPrison in Illinois!

Strong investments must be supported by strong policy in order to protect Chicagoans from the increasingly worse impacts of climate change #CEJAworks

Ahhh the time of year where I hear "It's so cold out! There's no way global warming/climate change is real!" Fun fact, Weather ≠ Climate and extreme weather is symptom of climate change. Bundle up!🥶🧣☕️

REALITY CHECK: Chicagoans rely on public transit. Cars will literally never get us to an equitable, accessible green future for ALL Chicagoans.🌠

Among major major cities, Chicago governance is structurally impoverished by the absence of an environment department when it once was a national leader, before Rahm shuttered it and Lori failed to deliver on campaign pledge to recreate it.

Rahm Emanuel dissolved the Chicago Department of Environment due to budget cuts. Lightfoot ran with the promise of re-establishing it... more than a decade later, there is still no dept. Thank you to Byron Sigcho Lopez, Iyana Simba, Amalia NietoGomez from ASE Chicago

📢Chicago, a tale of two cities. While some neighborhoods thrive, the Southeast Side fights against the absurdity of a mining project. #EndSacrificeZones #ProtectSoutheastSide chicago.suntimes.com/2024/1/23/2404…
