President Trump and Republicans have abandoned future generations by neglecting the environment. We in Springfield must serve as an aggressive balance to Washington by focusing on Environmental issues. Arguably the best way to do this by focusing on environmental justice issues. Communities like Little Village and Belmont Cragin must be cleaned up after previous injustices.
We also need to explore options on how we can increase recycling and access to open spaces across the state of Illinois. These things are the result of decades of environmental injustices and we must reverse that trend now.
