Illinois' environmental movement will gather at the State Capitol to meet with legislators and push for support of the POWER Act (SB4016/HB5513) - nation-leading legislation that protects Illinois from data center harms. These energy- and water-intensive facilities are already increasing home utility bills, polluting our air, threatening our water supply, and straining Illinois’ climate goals–and many more are coming. Let's take action together to ensure Illinois establishes nation-leading guardrails that protect our water, energy, ratepayers, and frontline communities!

A free bus ride will be available from Peoria. More details will be available closer to the event date.

This lobby day is organized by the Illinois Environmental Council (IEC), of which the Sierra Club Illinois Chapter is a Lead Affiliate.
