Environmental Action Director

2023-2025

Claudia Jackson serves as co-chair of the LWV Chicago Environmental Action Committee and was instrumental in creating LWV Chicago’s Environmental Action webpage, including the Tips & Tricks for Sustainable Living. She is co-author of LWV Chicago’s regular Waste Not Want Not column.

Claudia represents LWV Chicago on the Coalition for Plastic Reduction (CPR), where she currently sits on the steering committee and leads the coalition building committee. She was also instrumental in LWV Chicago and LWVIL becoming affiliates of the Illinois Environmental Council (IEC) in order to have a front row seat on environmental legislation and ordinances.

Claudia is passionate about sustainability. Her view of true sustainability is when environmental protection, social justice and economic growth all intersect. Currently Claudia has taken on the issue of reducing single-use plastic waste in Chicago and Illinois.

Her goal is to make the League a powerful voice in advancing strong, fair, economically progressive environmental policy in the city and state.
