Happy #LaborDay from team Think Big Illinois! As we celebrate this holiday, let’s take a moment to honor Illinois’ labor movement, which fights tirelessly every single day to improve the lives of working families across our state.
This #Juneteenth, as we commemorate the ending of slavery in the United States, it’s imperative that we reaffirm our commitment to the fight for freedom, justice, and equality for all by working to root out and eradicate systemic racism in our country.
