350 Chicago’s Climate Action in 2026

The new year is just around the corner, and we’re gearing up for a great 2026. Local climate action continues to be more important than ever, and we’re ready to keep fighting alongside you. Some of what we’re excited about for next year includes:

  • Building on our success in getting Chicago to divest from fossil fuels by educating the public and electeds in Illinois about the need for the state to divest

  • Growing broader statewide support for fossil fuel divestment, by expanding our Climate Safe Pensions Illinois coalition, with a goal of 100 members by May of 2026

  • Advancing reform of Investor Owned Utilities to stop the utilities from charging ratepayers for their lobbying expenses via our utility transparency campaign

  • Advocating for clean energy policy in Illinois through our work with the Illinois Clean Jobs Coalition

  • Continuing to increase climate education through our ongoing climate speaker series (14 episodes now available on our YouTube Channel)

Join us in making a difference next year. Your gift is direct action in the fight against climate change. Provide a Gift Today and continue your support!
