October Resolution: Always Act on Calls to Action

Our 12 River Resolutions for 2025 are designed to inspire actions and ideas that you can embrace to improve the health of the 156-mile Chicago-Calumet River system and its tributary streams for all people, water, and wildlife. The monthly advocacy steps are an invitation to engage and educate the public to get to know the river system as well as what they can do for it and why it matters for us all.

They used to say that “one letter in Washington is worth a 100,000 votes” and what it means is your elected officials are listening. Reach out on river issues that matter locally, at the state level, and to the federal government. We need your voice to support legislation and initiatives that protect our rivers, reduce pollution, and promote sustainable land and water management. Your opinion counts!
