@tferriss Team of UChicago grads just put this up yesterday to help vulnerable populations (senior citizens, sick individuals) request help from members of their community that are well enough to support them https://t.co/rZwVIdpg88

According to @PolitiFact, 850000 federal workers are furloughed per day under a government shutdown in the US. Is an idiotic border wall more important than our American workers?

The @kingcollegeprep gave students weak excuses as to why they can’t have a quality education and feel safe at their school! They ended up forcing the student activist out of the building! They’re now protesting outside!

Join us tonight at 6:30 on 78th and Bennett for a press conference to honor Jasmine Marie Johnson. Johnson, the cousin of @FMSupreme, was shot and killed by her boyfriend this week. We must act now to change gun violence legislation. We deserve better. Jasmine deserved better.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Time to walk the walk.

Very few members of Congress actually pay their interns. We will be one of them.

Every activist I know would give up verification for 1 more day with their best friend. Would give up magazine covers for 1 more smile. Would give up everything to get them back.

We don’t do this for fun or followers.

We do this because the ones we’ve buried deserved better.

[Kirsten Gillibrand @SenGillibrand]

The House has until Dec. 10 to force a vote on reversing the #NetNeutrality repeal. We cannot allow lawmakers to continue to side with corporations, so we must keep speaking out for an internet that is free, fair and open to everyone.

[UChicago Democrats @uchidemocrats]

Our 20th Ward Aldermanic Forum is tonight. Doors open at 6 PM - swing through! #twill

To New Yorker turned proud Chicagoan Owen Elrifi, activism is important because "it’s a way that anyone can make a difference." As the co-founder of LegUP Woodlawn, Owen knows the importance of fighting for equal opportunity education in Chicago. #studentactivistspotlight

It’s been 3,414 days since the federal minimum wage was last raised to $7.25 an hour on July 24, 2009. During that time, the cost of living has dramatically increased. It’s time to raise the wage.

[Kirsten Gillibrand @SenGillibrand]

Survivors of sexual assault deserve to be able to safely come forward and tell their stories – to be heard and believed. We can’t let our broken system fail them more than it already has. #HandsOffIX https://t.co/gWt0Us6dIO

Interested in aldermanic campaigns? The current alderman for the 26th ward only attends 38% of city council meetings. David Herrera, who grew up in the ward, wants to change that.

Find opportunities to canvass below. Or, just chat with @MarleyRosario!
