As Senior Advisers, @billpeduto & I have worked with the team at @Strong_Cities Network providing a Prevention Academy & resources to support cities across the US. Go to https://t.co/ru3bOg7k20 for more information about this global organization & the great work they are doing.
Former Pittsburgh Mayor @billpeduto and I were pleased to have our op-ed: Global Crises, Local Impacts: How Mayors Need to Prepare, published yesterday in @just_security, a law and policy journal produced by the @RCLS_NYU at @nyulaw. https://t.co/is343LcXQk
As the ripples of global crises hit local communities, mayors need to be ready to respond. While public safety planning is always paramount, community resilience and preparedness are also part of the critical dynamic for moving forward in the aftermath.
With 30 days until the primary election on March 17th, let’s make sure all Illinoisans know about #TeamJuliana! Share this post with a friend and let them know to join the fight at the link in my bio 👉🔗
Tonight @JulianaStratton showed Illinoisans what I know well—she’s the fighter our state deserves.
I need her with me in Washington to push back against Donald Trump and his dangerous agenda.
Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.
An arsonist set fire to Beth Israel Congregation, the largest synagogue in Mississippi. A house of worship whose history stretches back to 1860 was reduced to ruins in a single moment by the flames of Jew-hatred.
The arson against Beth Israel is a repeat of history. In 1967, the Ku Klux Klan bombed the same synagogue in a campaign of terror directed at Rabbi Perry Nussbaum, whose home was also bombed for his righteous alliance with the Civil Rights Movement.
Domestic terrorism against Jews never happens in a vacuum. Instead of extinguishing the fires of antisemitism, American politics is often guilty of fanning the flames.
As Chanukah begins this evening, my heart is heavy. We are holding the Jewish community of Australia in our thoughts following the tragic and senseless violence at Bondi Beach. What should be a time of gathering, reflection, and light has been overshadowed by grief and fear.
Here in @CityHPIL, we stand w Jewish communities in Australia & around the world, & with all who are mourning or struggling to make sense of violence & loss. May the lights of Chanukah serve not as a denial of pain, but as a quiet affirmation of compassion & our shared humanity.
