The Kaskaskia Group of the Illinois Sierra Club represents the Illinois counties of St. Clair, Monroe, Randolph, Washington, Clinton, Marion and Jefferson.
At the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin believed that the sun was rising on the new American republic.
Now, many Americans fear that sun may be setting.
But we will get through the present trial. We must do all we can to mitigate the harms from this administration until they are brought to an end.
And then we will begin the long process of restoring the very best of America.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk are breaking the law and violating the Constitution. Workers from @704afge are fighting back. Can you support them by calling your Representative and Senators? Tell them to protect EPA workers, and use all possible leverage to stop these attacks.
Illinois is a national leader on bold, equitable climate policy, but it’s on us to seize the moment and continue the work in 2025! Watch as CUB’s Scott Allen reports back from this year’s #ClimateATheCapitol rally in Springfield with @ILCleanJobs.
In the words of @BarackObama, "we cannot condemn our children, and their children, to a future that is beyond their capacity to repair..."
The IRA in a once in a lifetime investment and we're seeing the benefits of such investment first hand and NOW!
The #SpringfieldRaceRiot monument fills a critical gap in the National Park System, which previously did not have parks that tell the stories of race riots, the founding of the @NAACP, and Ida B. Wells-Barnett. Thank you @POTUS! #MonumentsForAll
Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November. https://t.co/Tn2TQu5Djo
Because of Donald Trump, more than 1 in 3 women of reproductive age live in a state with a Trump Abortion Ban—many with no exceptions for rape or incest.
"Throughout May, which is #Asthma Awareness Month, we should focus on preventing asthma attacks with the most comprehensive approach possible... [which includes] addressing all sources of air pollution from combustion-engine vehicles," writes @BenJealous.

@angtovar #ElectrifyChi
Wade Halva with @faithinplace in Carbondale! Electrification: replacing equipment like furnaces that run on fossil fuels with their electric counterparts. Not overnight, but we need to plan now to move away from gas for affordability, health & climate. @CUBIL @SierraClubIL
We’re in Carbondale to talk about clean, affordable alternatives to gas. Fossil fuels are bad for our bottom lines, our health, our climate. @SierraClub@cubillinois@faithinplace @siusustainability and the City of Carbondale are with Southern Illinoisans to secure #CleanHeat
We must act boldly and quickly to move Chicago away from our reliance on fossil fuels, and ensure that everyone has access to clean energy alternatives. A #GreenNewDeal for Chicago means that we leave no one behind in the transition to a clean energy future.
