POWER Act Lobby Day 2026

Illinois' environmental movement will gather at the State Capitol to meet with legislators and push for support of the POWER Act (SB4016/HB5513) - nation-leading legislation that protects Illinois from data center harms. These energy- and water-intensive facilities are already increasing home utility bills, polluting our air, threatening our water supply, and straining Illinois’ climate goals–and many more are coming. Let's take action together to ensure Illinois establishes nation-leading guardrails that protect our water, energy, ratepayers, and frontline communities!

What: POWER Act Lobby Day
When: Saturday, May 30, 2026
Where: Illinois State Capitol Building, 401 S. 2nd St. Springfield, IL 62756
Registration: free and open to all!

Transportation: buses may be available round-trip in various locations across the state, including: Aurora, Carbondale, Chicago, Decatur, East St. Louis, Evanston, Geneva, Hamel, Naperville, Oak Park, Peoria, Rockford, Urbana, Joliet, Schaumburg, Waukegan. Let us know if you'd like a ride to Springfield, and we will determine location availability based on interest level.

We are excited to host a rally as part of the day's events! Feel free to bring a rally sign, but please ensure it's not affixed to a stick and doesn't have sharp edges to keep folks safe.

You will soon receive more information on getting connected to a "Lobby Captain" who will guide you and your neighbors from your district throughout the Lobby Day.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Hannah Dembosky at hdembosky@ilenviro.org.
