Congratulations April Verrett, the first Black President in SEIU's 103-year history! Your dedication to social justice and workers' rights is truly inspiring. I am proud to have worked with you in Chicago, and look forward to continuing this work. #ThisUnion

@rep_jackson Thank you Congressman Jonathan Jackson for your unwavering leadership.

[Rep. Jonathan L. Jackson @rep_jackson]

Our democracy was founded, in part on protest. Fast forward to the Civil Rights Movement of the 60’s; peaceful demonstrations led by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., changed the fabric of our nation.

Peaceful protests are a central principle of our democracy and students standing for justice have often been a catalyst for much-needed change.
From the Vietnam War protests, the struggle for gender equality, the movement for Black lives, to the global movement for peace in Israel and Palestine, many of the rights we enjoy today were earned thanks to the tenacity of students demonstrating on university campuses.

I call on university administrators to ensure that there are no academic repercussions for peaceful student protestors at the University of Chicago. I urge law enforcement — at all levels of government — to exercise restraint. To the demonstrators, be mindful of your words. There is no time, nor tolerance for hate speech. Your purpose is justice, not division. Safety for all students must be the priority.

My office is monitoring the situation at campuses in our district and around the country. I will continue working federally for a lasting bilateral ceasefire in Gaza to save lives, return the hostages, release prisoners, and deliver much-needed humanitarian aid to the region.

BREAKING: The Workforce Development Committee just passed the Chicago Paid Time Off Ordinance! Every worker deserves sick time & paid time off. We are proud to fight alongside pro-worker advocates and elected allies to raise the standards for all workers. Chicago is a labor town!

My endorsement (from Philly) for the leader who consistently shows up!

[Jesús “Chuy” García @Chuy4Congress]

The ultimate workers’ champion and a hero of our time. An absolute honor to have Dolores Huerta on Team Chuy!

A Mayor who cannot keep us safe is a Mayor who is not safe to keep

[Jesús “Chuy” García @Chuy4Congress]

Looks like desperate times call for desperate measures.

The Mayor should be more concerned about fully funding Chicago Public Schools than using them as a recruiting pipeline of free labor for her re-election campaign. This is deeply problematic.

[Jesús “Chuy” García @Chuy4Congress]

Chicago needs a mayor who will bring us together – instead of driving us apart. I intend to be that mayor. A mayor for all. I hope you’ll join me. https://t.co/rd4O122i5l

[Jesús “Chuy” García @Chuy4Congress]

In Chicago, you know you’re part of something big. We live in the city of broad shoulders. But today, from crime to unemployment to affordable housing, there's uncertainty ahead.

I’m running for Mayor of Chicago because it’s time to build a brighter future – together.
