350 Chicago

350 Chicago is working to end local institutions’ investments in the fossil fuel industry and advocating for a swift transition to 100% clean energy in the region.

We got the city of Chicago to divest its fossil fuel holdings in 2022, and have now expanded our focus to divestment for the State of Illinois. We are also organizing in Chicago and across the state of Illinois, in collaboration with local and nationwide campaigns, to end the era of fossil fuels and support environmental justice.
