.@GovPritzker and @EPA reached a deal for environmental assessment of proposed pollution-producing industry prior to construction. This comes after four years of community organizing to protect low-income areas already burdened by environmental injustices. https://t.co/usRzyT15eM

Lead is a neurotoxin that has negative long term impacts on health and early childhood development.

Drinking water contaminated with lead has disproportionately burdened low-income communities of color. We need to move quickly to replace lead service lines fairly and equitably.

[LVEJO @LVEJO]

There is no safe amount of lead. In Chicago, low-income and communities of color are drinking significant amount of lead in their homes and school. Thank you to all who joined this rally that demanded local and federal action to #gettheleadout

@ChicagosMayor’s Chief Sustainability Officer Angela Tovar speaks at our Daley Plaza rally to get the lead out of Chicago’s drinking water! @POTUS @EPA

Lead is a harmful neurotoxin that doesn’t belong in our drinking water. NRDC's Erik Olson calls dangerous lead pipes "ticking time bombs” in the latest @ABC documentary “Our America: Trouble On Tap."

Did you know that Chicago has the most lead pipes of any U.S. city? As we await stronger protections against lead from the EPA, join us on Oct. 4 to rally behind safe drinking water for all and support environmental justice for Chicago communities. RSVP: https://t.co/WD6QSdf19K

📺 The trailer for @ABC new docu-series "Our America: Trouble on Tap," premiering April 21, reveals the shocking reality of how access to safe drinking water in the US depends on one's zip code. Don't miss expert insights from @NRDC's Erik Olson.

Chicago’s slow-moving efforts to replace nearly 400,000 lead service lines has resulted in families facing a complicated process under the Equity Lead Service Line Replacement program. @GinaRamirez311 talks about her own mother’s journey.

Chicagoans are rallying at the Peoples Gas Headquarters saying NO to another rate hike! Instead of wasting billions of dollars on unnecessary fossil fuel infrastructure, we need to invest in more efficient, affordable clean heat. #StopTheRateHike

We are appalled by the current conflict and suffering in Ukraine and call for an immediate end to this aggression. We stand with all people working to safeguard peace.

BREAKING: The permit for General Iron has been DENIED.

This is an enormous victory for Chicago's Southeast Side community and for the fight against environmental racism.

Good news! An Illinois appeals court revoked a state regulator’s approval of expanding the Dakota Access Pipeline. This follows a request filed by @NRDC, Save Our Illinois Land, & @SierraClubIL. 👏 https://t.co/xgZEgRzVGe

An El Paso cop pointed his gun at a group of children. A boy is pulled to the ground & handcuffed. The cop extends his nightstick & yells at the group to get back. Then the boy recording the video is handcuffed. Video: https://t.co/ctfV6DgX28 Article: https://t.co/gkQruMivj7
