Last night, over 100 people rallied in Daley Plaza to say NO to a $202 million rate hike, which would increase gas bills by $127 a year.

Gas bills have already increased at nearly four times the rate of inflation. We urge the ICC to reject yet another rate hike.

#Gonekayaking! 🛶🐟 One Summer Chicago x PCR

[Street Art for Mankind @StreetArtMkind]

We just unveiled two monumental murals on environmental justice & education for all, by artists Mr. Super A & @GhCarlosalberto , with @UNEP @FAO @ChicagosMayor @cookcountygov and community leaders.
It was especially moving to hear Cheryl Johnson @pcrchi, daughter of Hazel Johnson, Mother of the Environmental Justice Movement, whose legacy inspired the Stand Tall mural.
Let these murals inspire action for a more just and sustainable world!
Thank you @Bulleit @Diageo_NA @ThePruLife @storagemart for making these murals possible.

It’s a wrap! 🎉 We just finished one of the tallest murals ever in Chicago — “Stand Tall” by Mr. Super A, rising 244 ft above downtown.
Created in celebration of #WorldEnvironmentDay with @UNEP @FAO @Chicagosmayor, this stunning piece serves as a vibrant reminder that we have the power to reshape the future of our planet and our communities - by restoring nature and beating pollution.
Thank you @bulleit and theprulife for making it possible.
