Friends,

We’re making good progress in our fight to divest Illinois from fossil fuels – bills have been introduced into both the Illinois state house and senate directing state pension funds to divest, and our new Climate Safe Pensions Illinois coalition has us poised to scale our efforts. But we need your help to do more.

This Earth Month, we’re raising money to underwrite a critical study that will provide legislators with the information they need to vote for divestment. This study will result in Illinois-specific evidence for legislators on why divestment is a financially prudent move for Illinois. Will you help us by making a gift today?

Our divestment coalition needs your help to keep up the momentum. Every gift to this campaign will fund this vital research. Every gift will get us closer to our goal of divesting Illinois from fossil fuels, so we can have the better future we all deserve.

Make your gift today!

And as a small thank you, for every $25 donation you make between now and Earth Day (April 22), you’ll be entered into a raffle to earn an Earth Month gift set (details below).

With gratitude,

350 Chicago and the Climate Safe Pensions Illinois coalition
