Investing in Chicago means committing funding to programs like counseling, after-school programs, and job creation. Help my family and friends thrive. -- #FundPeace. https://t.co/2YRZbdigTX

With just 2% of public safety funding going to gun violence prevention, we can transform our communities through trauma-informed care and jobs. Chicago must do better. #FundPeace https://t.co/2YRZbdigTX

Stop putting money towards policies that don't work. Invest in the future of the youth and #FundPeace https://t.co/0AOXetmRKB @ChicagosMayor

“When it comes to reducing gun violence, however, America’s second-largest city has much to teach us.”

In his latest op-ed, @arneduncan lays out how Chicago can learn from LA when it comes to reducing gun violence. #FundPeace https://t.co/58ysR6hsA1

Families fleeing violence deserve respect, dignity and human rights. We cannot let @realdonaldtrump’s hateful rhetoric become policy. #NoBanNoWall #TrumpAddress

Tell @ICEgov to free Alejandra! She's a trans activist stuck in an immigration detention center. Seeking safety is not a crime! #PrideInAlejandra

The US needs to seriously investigate, report and compensate for civilian deaths and destruction from its military actions: https://t.co/g0GuWwuO7W

[Amnesty International USA @amnestyusa]

It's time we demand accountability for the destruction in Raqqa, Syria. Demand the U.S. government investigates scale of destruction caused by the coalition’s campaign. https://t.co/eWSsaAtVdh
