===May 2011: Activists stop coal barge, climb on coal plant===

On May 24, 2011, Greenpeace activists stopped a coal barge from the Pulaski Bridge, displaying a banner on the river bridge that said “We can stop coal” and “Nosotros podemos parar el carbόn.” Dangling above the water, the presence of the activists prevented three coal barges from passing, according to the activsts. From the bridge, the activists proclaimed to [[Edison International]] that people have the right to choose clean energy for their communities. They demanded that Edison International shut down the Fisk and Crawford plants. In spring 2011, the Chicago City Council failed to vote on the Chicago Clean Power Ordinance, which would have forced the plants to clean up or shut down.<ref>ceaton, [http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/en/news-and-blogs/campaign-blog/breaking-greenpeace-activists-stop-coal-shipm/blog/34934 "BREAKING: Greenpeace activists stop coal shipment at Pulaski Bridge in Chicago"] Greenpeace, May 24, 2011.</ref>
