May is National Bike Month! 🚲

As the weather warms, it's a great time to get out on your bike. I am working hard in Congress to make biking more accessible and safer for all Americans.

The Illinois Clean Jobs Platform was the topic of conversation yesterday when our staff and volunteers met with their legislators for #ClimateLobbyDayIL . Let's move toward clean, healthy & equitable transportation for everyone! ilcleanjobs.org/platform

What a day! Thank you to everyone who came out to #ClimateLobbyDayIL , and to the legislators who met with their constituents about why we need a clean and reliable electric grid, equitable transit, healthy buildings, and more! #ElectrifyIL #TransitIsEssential

Join us live for the Climate Action Lobby Day Rally! #ElectrifyIL #TransitIsEssential x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Local leaders say they’ve advocated YEARS for safety measures on Pulaski, and recently IDOT repainted. But PAINT IS NOT INFRASTRUCTURE, it does not slow down drivers. If it takes years to get paint…how many people will be hurt or killed before IDOT_Illinois takes real action?

Excited to talk about the Clean and Equitable Transportation bill with legislators today as part of Climate Action Day MPC IEC
