Action for Clean Vehicle Standards at Lobby Day
Following our big lobby day rally this week, Dany Robles, IEC’s climate policy director, led a group of 50 youth and environmental justice leaders in a march to Governor Pritzker’s office.
They took action to again urge Governor Pritzker to move our state forward on clean car and truck rules. They delivered a copy of the letter to Governor Pritzker detailing our demands for clean air. As participants lobbied their legislators throughout the day, they asked them to cosign this letter to the Governor in solidarity with environmental justice communities and future generations who are to inherit the climate crisis.
Illinoisans deserve clean transportation. We deserve clean air. And we demand action. Below you’ll see a photo featuring Dany leading the march to the Governor’s Office.
Dany is also quoted in this Inside Climate News story about the slate of bills we pushed for during this year’s Lobby Day. Click here to check it out!
