What a week! Years of organizing, education, and advocacy led to a BIG win for immigrant communities with the end of the #PublicCharge legal fight. Learn more about the public charge and what this means for our families. #ProtectFamilies

Unexpected feelings. When four years of persecution, trauma, and fear hits you. Ugly tears of relief and hope.

While our future is still not certain, the sun rose anew today. It is good and feels bright.

The fight for justice continues.

This is not abnormal. As my father said, this nation was “born in genocide.” We have yet to earnestly address America’s violent roots, its white supremacy or its racism. With urgency, we must. If we do not, violence, in many forms, will persist, no matter who is in office.

@gregowalogist @KaylaSueJacobs @M_OkinczycCruz @EPFriends I think Jordan River Farm with the Diocese of Joliet is doing interviews for the director’s position. @KaylaSueJacobs would know these details!

There is no shame in poverty.

The shame is in greed.

@gregowalogist “Under the weight of a system we refuse to change, morality and the law will continue to buckle.” What a good and convicting read. Peace brother!

@HeidiSchlumpf @ArchbishopGomez @JoeBiden But is it not difficult and complex situation when other Catholic politicians support racist policies?

#fairtaxnow is justice.

[IL Immigrant Rights @icirr]

VOTE YES FOR FAIR TAX! It is time for us to make the change so we can support our communities, families & children with the resources they deserve, & that will be possible with the dollars that the rich will pay with FAIR TAX….BECAUSE THAT IS FAIRNESS! #fairtaxnow #ICIRRVotes

[Edith Avila Olea @eavila321]

Do you want to see everyone pay their fair share? 👇🏽

[IL Immigrant Rights @icirr]

If the fair tax passes, taxes will only increase for those with an income greater than $250K, which is just the top 3%. This means that 97% of Illinois residents will see a lower tax rate than they were paying before. #fairtaxnow #ICIRRVotes

In case you didn’t know... #fairtaxnow

[IL Immigrant Rights @icirr]

Illinois does NOT collect taxes on retirement income, and Fair Tax DOES NOT change that. In fact, the American Association of Retired Persons SUPPORTS Fair Tax! #fairtaxnow #ICIRRNow

[Edith Avila Olea @eavila321]

Yess to this! #fairtaxnow

[IL Immigrant Rights @icirr]

Fair Tax does NOT give the legislature any more power than it already has! It just makes that system more fair and equitable!! #fairtaxnow #ICIRRVotes

Bp. McElroy: "It is the candidate who is on the ballot, not a specific issue. The faith-filled voter is asked to make the complex judgment: Which candidate will be likely to best advance the common good through his office in the particular political context he will face?

Hoy, el Gobernador Pritzker confirmó que las pruebas y el tratamiento de Covid son GRATIS para todos los que sin seguro medico, sin importar su estado migratorio. ¡Aplaudimos al Gobernador Pritzker por su liderazgo! 👏
