Public transit in Chicagoland is facing a fiscal cliff. Unless lawmakers can fix it, we could see a 40% cut to transit service. We can’t let transit fail, and we can help it flourish. Illinois deserves a world-class transit system that makes it safer, faster, and easier to get where you’re going.
This spring is a make-or-break moment for public transit, and lawmakers must pass a bill before May. Tell them we need transit funding and reform for a healthier, more sustainable future in Illinois.
The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) is a bipartisan program that creates a system of coordination among federal agencies, state entities, and local partners to protect the Great Lakes. Since its inception in 2010, the program has achieved strong results in wetlands restoration, beach protection, clean-ups of toxic waste sites, and invasive species management.
Every dollar invested in GLRI comes back three-fold in additional economic activity in the Great Lakes region.
Tell Congress to reauthorize the GLRI this year AND appropriate the funds necessary to protect the Lakes!
A recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturned decades of clean water protections that protect vital wetlands. Illinois does not have a comprehensive program to safeguard no longer federally protected wetlands.
Wetlands are nature’s purifier for our clean drinking water. They prevent the devastating consequences of floods and are critical habitats for diverse wildlife. It’s time for Illinois to step up and create permanent wetlands protections.
Decision-makers in Springfield are considering legislation, but they need to hear from you.
Chicago could lose its Greyhound station soon if our public officials don’t figure out a solution. We need your voice to preserve regional bus service and protect riders.
Tell Mayor Johnson and Governor Pritzker to act fast, buy the station, and protect intercity bus service!
