I have been thinking about moving back to my old house in McKinley Park, but I will have to rethink if this passes :( I can't deal with that neighborhood becoming EVEN MORE polluted than it already is.

NO MORE SACRIFICE ZONES!!!!

"Expanding I-55 would worsen climate change, increase pollution, & put already overburdened environmental justice communities at risk."

This weekend, Sierra Club organizer @SamBeard_SC sounded the alarm that we must #StopCopCity lest "every tree that they deem dispensable is felled, every prairie they deem dispensable is paved over, every social justice activist that they deem dispensable is murdered." 🐢

"My high school air monitor registers some of the highest levels of toxic metals in the state, yet polluters are still planning to come to my community. This EJ bill will protect communities like mine, and address the problem of environmental racism." -@trinityxac #twill #EJ4IL

[CarolineWooten @CWoots89]

"Fossil fuel pollution like coal ash has been poisoning my community for too long, and it's past time we make a plan to safely remove it." -@EdZednEddie #twill #EJ4IL

Faith in Place Action Fund applauds @POTUS & the @EPA for announcing that the Waukegan Harbor is among the sites that will benefit from a $1 billion boost in funding for cleaning up the Great Lakes, thanks to the bipartisan infrastructure plan & community advocacy! #EJ4IL

[Faith in Place @faithinplace]

"Candace May, Lake County outreach coordinator for Faith in Place said seeing Waukegan Harbor finally delisted will hopefully mitigate some harm that’s been done to neighboring communities of color." #EJ4IL
