On Sunday, January 4th the Climate Safe Pensions Illinois Coalition (CSPI) gathered to sort and collate the over 3100 signed postcards collected during our joint outreach and educational efforts at events throughout Illinois. These will be delivered to Illinois policy makers over the course of early 2026 during our educational outreach work to show the public support for fossil fuel divestment in Illinois.

Thank you to everyone who signed a card to support the fossil fuel divestment campaign. Thank you as well to the 350 Chicago Volunteers who attended the 32 events during 2025 to talk with the public about the importance of fossil fuels divestment and gain signatures on the postcards. We engaged with Illinoisans across the Northeast portion of the state, expanding our outreach into Lake, McHenry, DuPage and Will Counties.

Members of the 350 Chicago Outreach Committee organized attendance at and worked all these events in the spring, summer and fall of last year. Congratulations to the committee for work well done!

We will have a number of updates about the campaign during the winter and spring of 2026. Stay Tuned!

In solidarity,

Team 350 Chicago
