REST IN PEACE: It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tuffy Quinonez, 76. Quinonez has served as the City’s 11th Ward Alderman since 2017.
Illinois was the battleground for multiple top priority races in 2022, but thanks to Democratic voters, we didn’t lose a single top target seat and gained four new representatives!
May we always remember that important life lesson and move forward together to make the world a more compassionate, just place for all. Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day! #MLKDay
"Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?' " - MLK Jr.
Today and every day, we honor Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy through our mission to build the most active and inclusive party our state has ever seen.
The first Central Committee Meeting of 2023 will be getting underway in about an hour, and we hope to see you there. We’ll be discussing our new meeting date and much more. #godems#ildem#ilpol
Striking workers will be demonstrating outside of their stores and handing out Starbucks Workers United-branded cups to customers instead from 7 a.m. - 6 p.m. Your solidarity would be much appreciated. See you all tomorrow. #UnionStrong#UnionsForAll#solidarity#rockford
They join a total of over 100 stores participating in Red Cup Rebellion, a nationwide unfair labor practice (ULP) strike demanding Starbucks fully staff all union stores and begin bargaining in good faith.
Our nation has a truly sacred obligation to prepare those we send into harm’s way, care for their families when they’re gone, and care for them and their families when they’re home.
That’s a lifetime commitment the nation owes to every one of our veterans.
To the people of Illinois: thank you for your trust in me once again.
I choose to fight for our state, our country, our world -- and the fight my mother never gave up on.
And I'm thrilled to work alongside you for four more years as your Governor.
