In the richest country in the history of the world, our neighbors should not be forced to live outdoors. I urge the Chicago City Council to pass the @BringChiHome ordinance and provide housing for people experiencing homelessness.

Before the pandemic, only a few people were living in tents in the sprawling Northwest Side park. But the park’s tent city has since grown to include about 40 people, their bright orange tents visible from North and California avenues. @BlockClubCHI

In response to a powerful endorsement by @BernieSanders in the 20th District Senate race, Senator Natalie Toro has chosen to mislead voters again; this time by trying to imply she has the endorsement of @JBPritzker Senator Toro needs to stop misleading voters.

Chicago’s northwest side political coalition ran on a compassionate & just political vision in June, & we won. The reactionary politically movement we beat then was simply disconnected from our working-class communities. The new municipal election challengers are just as lost.

@marydifino Thank you for standing up to her and for calling out her shameful endorsement of Judge Toomin.

Here’s a rumor to spread: Chicago’s grassroots, progressive, and socialist movements are powerful. If we develop and unite behind a shared political program that addresses the needs of Chicago’s poor and working class, we’d be unstoppable.

Chicago needs a CDPH Commissioner that is ready to fight for a transformative vision for public health - not one that relies on failed neoliberal policies. I look forward to having a CDPH Commissioner that champions reopening our mental health clinics & Treatment Not Trauma.

Solidarity with @Teamsters UPS workers! UPS is a multibillion-dollar company. Their workers shouldn't be making poverty wages or working in unsafe conditions. Last month, I proudly introduced a resolution to the county board to support their efforts for a fair contract.

Earlier this week, someone identified an inappropriate tweet I wrote nine years ago when I was 18 and still in HS. I regret having written it. When it was brought to my attention, I immediately deleted it. I thank the individual who flagged it so I could take appropriate action.
