Don't criminalize environmental protests in Illinois.

Dear Robert,

A fossil fuel industry bill designed to silence activists fighting against
deadly pollution and climate change passed the Illinois House of
Representatives last month.
HB 1633 would impose steep fines, felony charges and long jail sentences on
activists that protest oil pipelines, coal mines, power plants and other
dirty energy sources.

*Help us kill this Koch Brothers bill in the Illinois Senate: take 3
minutes to fill out a witness slip opposing HB 1633.
