350 Illinois/Chicago attended the Earthrise 815 Conference in Rockford, Illinois, where we connected with community members and collected signed postcards urging state legislators to support the Fossil Fuel Divestment Act and the Utility Transparency Act, which addresses utility lobbying reform.
Throughout the event, we had the opportunity to meet people from across the Rockford area, share more about our work throughout Illinois, and discuss ways to get involved in advancing these legislative efforts.
A special thank you to Sustain Rockford for hosting such a wonderful event, which featured Bill McKibben, co-founder of 350.org and Third Act. We were also fortunate to have a few minutes to speak with Bill about our ongoing work in Illinois and share updates on our efforts.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by, signed a postcard, and took the time to connect with us. We appreciate the opportunity to bring people together around these important issues!
