Veterans Day is a powerful reminder of the courage, sacrifice and unwavering commitment of those who have served our nation. On this day, we not only honor @Chicago veterans' dedication, but recommit ourselves to supporting them and their families every day of the year.
Happy Diwali, @Chicago! The Festival of Lights signifies the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. May we carry this message into our communities every day with renewed commitment to make our city a beacon of hope and inclusion for all.
Happy Native American Heritage Month, @Chicago!
Our city wouldn’t be the same without the contributions, culture, and history of our Native communities. From the development of Jigzibik affordable housing to our annual Native American Heritage Month reception, Chicago's Native community will always have an advocate and voice in my administration.
Today’s decision reaffirms the fact that we cannot stand by when communities already overburdened with industrial pollution are threatened with even more pollution. Today and every day, we will fight to defend Chicagoans' health, safety, and environment.

Día de los Muertos is a time to honor and share memories of loved ones.
Thank you to the Latina Sweat Project for inviting me to join their annual Día de los Muertos event in Little Village and place an offering on the ofrenda for my late brother Leon.
From reopening mental health clinics to expanding CARE, my administration is proud to support organizations like the Latina Sweat Project who support the mental health and wellness of Southwest Side residents, the same services I wish had been available for my brother Leon before he passed.
