We joined housing advocates in challenging landlord policies in Cook County that automatically reject potential tenants who have any prior connection to an eviction case. These policies are most likely to adversely impact Black renters, especially Black women.
Very grateful for the opportunity to discuss with my colleagues the need for a mental health crisis response and prevention model that can make Chicago safer. Now we go to the table and build it together.

We’re really excited & nervous about getting youth out to the polls to #Vote because after speaking with over 100 teens about voting we’ve seen striking similarities. 1. Barriers to voting like not having bills in their names, $ to get a State ID, having no home address 🧵👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
BREAKING: This afternoon, Graduate Students United’s vote to unionize passed with 92 percent support. Now, all eyes are on how the University administration, which challenged the previous election vote in 2017, will respond.

Our schools are supposed to be preparing us for our future. But unless we take things into our own hands, there's not much of a future to prepare for.
That's why we're launching ☀️Sunrise Summer Camp✊ to train the next generation of leaders to take over.

Too cold to door knock?
