Special Delivery: Pollution 🚛💨 🚚💨

visited in the Pullman community to present the Polluter of the Year Awards.🏆🥇

For too long, residents living in Chicago’s far South and West Side communities have had their health sacrificed due to increased diesel truck traffic and air pollution near warehouses while companies like Amazon see massive profits from these facilities.

It’s time for Amazon to pay their fair share so IL residents can have the resources we need and enjoy healthy lives.

➡️ Contact your legislator and demand that Amazon pay what they owe! 🔗 bit.ly/ILmakethempay

Illinois families are being asked to survive with less healthcare, less food assistance, and underfunded schools.

At the same time? Trump handed the wealthiest Illinoisans a $9 BILLION tax break.

We don’t have a shortage of money — we have a shortage of political courage. Our lawmakers can fully fund healthcare, childcare, education, and essential services if they make the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share.

+200,000 Illinois neighbors will lose federal food assistance over the coming year, and thousands already have! 😡🍴

The good news is that we can still do something about it. 😮‍💨 We can raise $4 billion by taxing large corporations and billionaires, which would provide the funds we need to prevent the cuts and fund these services.
