Dear Mayor Lightfoot,

Climate change is a threat to the future of humanity— and we’ve got to act fast. One of the most powerful things America’s cities can do to fight the climate crisis is to invest in green spaces. Investing in green spaces both mitigates and adapts to climate change, sequestering CO2 AND reducing extreme heat caused by climate change. We call on you, the Mayor of Chicago, to invest in green spaces for Chicago and take a crucial stand against climate change.

Thank you for your consideration.
