Last night, over 100 people rallied in Daley Plaza to say NO to a $202 million rate hike, which would increase gas bills by $127 a year. Gas bills have already increased at nearly four times the rate of inflation. We urge the ICC to reject yet another rate hike.

We just unveiled two monumental murals on environmental justice & education for all, by artists Mr. Super A & @GhCarlosalberto , with @UNEP @FAO @ChicagosMayor @cookcountygov and community leaders. It was especially moving to hear Cheryl Johnson @pcrchi, daughter of Hazel Johnson, Mother of the Environmental Justice Movement, whose legacy inspired the Stand Tall mural. Let these murals inspire action for a more just and sustainable world! Thank you @Bulleit @Diageo_NA @ThePruLife @storagemart for making these murals possible. #EcosystemRestorationMurals #EducationForAllMurals #ArtForChange #WorldEnvironmentDay #Chicago #generationrestoration #StandTallmural

Created in celebration of #WorldEnvironmentDay with @UNEP @FAO @Chicagosmayor, this stunning piece serves as a vibrant reminder that we have the power to reshape the future of our planet and our communities - by restoring nature and beating pollution. Thank you @bulleit and theprulife for making it possible. 👉 Learn more: streetartmankind.org/ecosyst… Location: Prudential Plaza, @chicago #ecosystemrestorationmurals #EcosystemRestoration #PublicArt #Chicago #generationrestoration
