The Clean Water Act scored a major victory on April 23rd, and it has huge ramifications for the Middle Fork of the Vermilion River and our lawsuit against Dynegy/Vistra. https://t.co/VKm2CIZ4tx

Really looking forward to this event! If you are interested in regenerative agriculture feel free to post questions you would like to see addressed. @theclimateecon@SierraClubIL

🚨Today, @LVEJO is taking over the ICJC social media accounts! Since 1994, we’ve organized members of the Little Village community to advocate for environmental justice. We’re a proud member of the ICJC, & today we’re taking over their social media to share some devastating news.
