Hello Fellow Climate Activists,
Our friends at Climate Education 4 Illinois are working to pass a bill through the Illinois state legislature and could use help with advancing the bill and gaining support by the filing of witness slips. See the details below:
Climate Education Bill HB4895 will have its third and final reading (ie will be voted on) in the house today (4/16) at 10.30am! Please can you take 5 minutes to file a witness slip in support of this bill and forward this email within your network to ask them to also file witness slips. Here is how to do it:
1. Go to this LINK (https://my.ilga.gov/WitnessSlip/Create/152760?committeeHearingId=20937&LegislationId=152760&LegislationDocumentId=193571) *
2. Complete: Address/Email/Phone: Type your address, email, and phone number.

* if you have not filed a witness slip before, you may want to first create an account here: https://my.ilga.gov/Account/Register . You do not have to do this, but it makes it faster for future witness slips.
