Today is a huge milestone in the fight for fairness for our collegiate student athletes. I am grateful for the leadership of @GovPritzker, @RepChrisWelch & @SenHarrisIL. With the Governor’s autograph today, Illinois takes its place at the forefront of this long overdue change.
I'm proud to honor Chicago native #HazelMJohnson, the mother of the environmental justice movement, this #EarthDay.
Her trailblazing work helped bring lifesaving protections to Americans suffering from environmental injustice & showed the world the power of community activism.

April 7, meeting in two virtual rooms at once!
The attacks, stabbings, shootings—we've seen similar veins of this discrimination against our fellow Americans before.
From segregation to immigration to the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII.
Uproot this racism. End the prejudice. #StopAsianHate.
