"About 20 officers marched toward the protesters, a cloud of smoke obscuring them. They threw a flash bang grenade at the crowd while agents on the roof fired pepper balls". All this to terrorize Chicagoans.

I love my CCAT!! Absolutely cannot wait for La Spata's next Meet Me on Milwaukee!!

I love my CCAT 💚 New housing in Chicago is climate action!

I walk through Roosevelt/State every week and it sucks. That path on the SW corner is a joke. The developers must improve the transit/pedestrian/bike access like they said they would in the 2019 TIF

I'm inspired everyday by the extreme overlaps of environmentalism, abundant housing, and active transportation. We're all making life so much better together 💚❤️

Welcome to the team, @abundanthousingil.bsky.social! 🤝

Our Inspiring Connections Outdoors team partners with RefugeeOne to help new Chicagoans explore the city. Thanks @urbanrivers.bsky.com for having us at the Wild Mile this summer!

Tabling Bike the Drive with my home activist group!! So glad to have volunteered with these friends for years already 💚💚

SAVE THE DATE for our Montrose Beach cleanup on Saturday, Sept. 20! Sign up here:

Look at this terrible picture of our beautiful skyline from North Ave beach on this beautiful day, i love it

The next post you'll see about the City Council Action Team from me will be all the pictures we get with our alders! If you're interested, sign up below, it's your last chance!

One of my favorite events is in town this week!

The highest turnout yet and a great picture! If you couldn't make the onboarding but still want to lobby your alder on the Cumulative Impact Ordinance, Accessory Dwelling Units, or the Department of Environment, sign up below!

Can't wait for another round of lobbying with Sierra Club Chicago! RSVP below for tomorrow's virtual meeting to review our last cycle and what's happening next

I'm thinking about a theory that goes something like "the best community engagement is a booth at a public and family friendly area" but I'd love to hear others thoughts on it

Just dreamt up "rowboat transit" down the Chicago River from Evanston to the Loop. The logistics bothered me so bad it woke me up

So excited it's time for CCAT's next cycle! We met with 13 alders this Spring and we need everyone we can get to help pass CIO, legalize ADUs, and protect the budget of the DoE! See you there!

And that permanent festival ground should be Grant Park! Imagine the bottlenecks if this happened anywhere other than the most walkable and transit accessible part of the city

The neurons are firing!!

Maybe two full-route screenshots means I need to get strava, oops

Today is a great day

How far can I go before Divvy charges me extra money challenge, extreme humidity edition:

Change happens slowly, then all at once. Let's get this housing legislation across the finish line!

"Analysis of the collected data was conducted, utilizing numerical analysis" A real report given to a real state legislature. Laughable!! Indistinguishable from AI auto-pilot slop!!

E-bike pausing, price capping, free options when there aren't any manual bikes, more downtown docks! Huge!!

Anyone have insight into the Illinois Transportation Benefits Program Act that allows for pre-tax transit pass purchasing? How impactful would the expansion to bike-share be? www.ilga.gov/legislation/...

This isnt very Recoding America of Metra to do

Vile

Great thread highlighting an embarrassing and consistent failure of transit agency cooperation

A super fun event with very nuanced takes on bus electrification and BRT creep 😉 Cant wait to meet more of yall at Transport Chicago!

Lots just happened at once. Group of ICE agents just pushed past protestors, shoving some people - incl. Ald. Quezada - to the ground, in order to escort multiple people into vans, which then drove off. "It's the worst. It's devastating," Quezada says.

I moved to Chicago from Texas because I love train. Hate driving. I don’t want 40% less train.

A democrat supermajority in Illinois legislature gets you: no housing, no clean energy, no transit. Like, Sierra Club agreed to support the bill that lifted the nuclear moratorium and it still didn't pass? Embarrassing

Yes I post on LinkedIn, yes I think it's cringe, no I will not stop

Super proud of my team's presentation and wouldn't change a thing! The only way out of a housing shortage is to build, and our proposal took that to the max. Housing delayed is housing denied. blockclubchicago.org/2025/05/16/v...

Perfect weather 🌇

Last week of fun-employment 🥲 I got thanked for walking the bike through that terrible cut through at Roosevelt/State lol

This is the vision of parenthood that everyone wants to do! So glad to live in a moment where this is a growing awareness

Beautiful. No notes

Thank you @ilenviro.bsky.social for the Chicago environmental lobby week! To new volunteers, I cannot recommend enough these opportunities to meet your alders in person. Thank you to @aldconway.bsky.social for working with us on our mission to clean our city!

Change is possible! Transportation agencies can build things other than highways, and planners can plan things other than exclusively detached single family home neighborhoods. There is more progress to make but this is fantastic

This is really exciting - can Chicago be next?! I wonder what the $$ savings are of skipping our inevitable mayoral runoff

I love it when I canvas for winners 😍

Why are these 3 lots being marketed together for just a SFH? Are two-flats less profitable? Would upzoning this or splitting the lots be impractical?

If I were to go on transit/bike trips to every Chicago Public Library, would y'all have any tips or requests? Should I make rules for travel or track my routes a certain way? Let me know!

That's my city 🫡

Maggie Daley park: great park, terrible access

Anyone know what's happening at the bean right now? Some disgruntled tourists and colorful outfits

It's true, and @sierraclubchicago.bsky.social knows it 😉

If a mayor loses an election over unplowed streets, they should also lose over closed bathrooms on these perfect days
