We have invited local policy experts and state legislators to speak about the challenge and opportunities that global warming presents. Jack Darrin, Illinois Director of the Sierra Club and policy experts from the Center for Neighborhood Technology have been invited to speak. Then it will be time for you to Take the Lead at a moderated elected official forum. Hear from local state legislators and ask them on how they plan to Take the Lead on global warming. This event has been organized by the Sierra Club, Chicago Global Warming Meet-up and Climate Justice Chicago.
