The Quickest, Most Powerful Thing You Can Do

By Linda Sullivan

Minute for minute, the quickest, most powerful thing you can do to save the planet is to click on this link and vote for Sierra Club endorsed candidates.

Federally, Illinois’ endorsed candidates include some of the most important Congressmen and Congresswomen in the Congress for battling climate change. Our own DuPage Climate Nerd (who federal election rules prevent us from naming in this article but you can find by clicking this link) was instrumental in fighting attempts to strip climate protection from the Inflation Reduction Act. Remember “No Climate, No Deal”?

We have three scientists/engineer Congressmen with business experience whose districts are partly in DuPage and whose journey to Sierra Club endorsement started with the River Prairie Group. Their passion and unique skills make them among the most effective environmentalists in Congress. Be sure to click the link to find out who they are.

Our endorsed candidates in the General Assembly have been battling to protect our Illinois wetlands after the Supreme Court gutted wetland protection in the Clean Water Act. They are working to build infrastructure for electric cars, stop unregulated pipeline construction, decarbonize the industrial sector, and save pollinators. You can find these endorsed environmental heroes by clicking the same link.

Few government entities have a more immediate effect on the quality of life in DuPage than the Forest Preserve District Commission. Be sure to vote DOWN BALLOT for our endorsed candidate! Yes, named on the link.

River Prairie has a robust program of canvassing and writing postcards for candidates. Our canvassing and postcard parties will be on our events calendar: https://www.sierraclub.org/illinois/events-calendar. Or email lsullivan23@hotmail.com.

Hope you will join us!
