Thank you, @RepSchneider, for standing up for #ClimateAction and leading the charge to condemn the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement. We need leaders to protect our planet, our future, and our place as a global clean energy leader. 🌍💪

The @ILAttyGeneral Kwame Raoul & @ILEPA tell the U.S. Army Corps that its plan to build a new toxic dredge dump on the Lake Michigan shoreline is illegal. Time to find a better site (via @BlockClubChi).
