A 9-minute kneeling prayer circle to represent and experience the time that George Floyd was pinned down by police at this intersection: “Feel the pain!”
We are a nation in pain right now, but we must not allow this pain to destroy us.
As President, I will help lead this conversation — and more importantly, I will listen, just as I did today visiting the site of last night's protests in Wilmington.
"Chicago is strong. This is our home. This is the city we built... We know it’s not perfect but if it gets destroyed we are all left to pick up the pieces. Here in Chicago, we care for each another. We have seen that over and over again. This is a time for us to unite."
I will not lift the President’s tweet. I will not give him that amplification. But he is calling for violence against American citizens during a moment of pain for so many. I’m furious, and you should be too.
I don’t think non-LGBT+ people realise how much of our childhoods we miss out on by having to pretend to be something we’re not. I’m 30 years old and I still long for some of the experiences I never got to have. It breaks my heart that people are still missing out on them today.
I applaud @GovPritzker for granting clemency to Miguel Perez, a U.S. veteran who served his country and has every right to rejoin his family, call himself an American and Illinois his home.
While we extend our deepest sympathies to the people of Midland and Odessa, we as a nation can no longer tolerate the failure of the Senate to act. @senatemajldr, take action or step aside!
Unions built Chicago, and we are strongest when working families are strong. On #LaborDay, while we celebrate the hard work and gains of labor, we also must remember there is much more to be done to protect workers' rights. Labor will always have a partner in the Mayor’s Office.
This is lazy and racist. Chicago doesn’t have the highest rate of gun violence among cities, but it does have the 3rd largest population of Black Americans.
And most of Chicago’s crime guns come from Indiana, a state with lax gun laws. In other words, stronger gun laws work.
A new school year brings new opportunities for all of our students to fulfill their potential. It’s why we are fully committed to investing the resources our kids need to stay on a path to success. Thanks to all of our teachers for all that they do.
