Elizabeth Warren is a hero of mine. As right-wing forces try to buy this seat, our movement needs to stay united and fight back. I’m grateful to Sen. Warren for standing with us in this battle.

Let’s talk about the shady right wing shell PAC trying to buy this seat.

We’re endorsing @robertpeters.bsky.social for IL-02.

A community organizer & state legislator, Peters has spent his career listening to working people & delivering for them — while taking on corporate-backed opponents & fighting to protect Social Security, Medicare, immigrants, & working families.

Why is a shady right wing super PAC trying to buy this seat for Donna Miller? This should be a red flag for every voter in this district.
AIPAC cash has popped up in the race to replace Robin Kelly in IL-02. "Affordable Chicago Now" is a SuperPAC that just organized a week ago and hasn't identified any of its donors. The PAC is supporting Donna Miller, whose donors are primarily AIPAC donors. Robert Peters' campaign emails:

Why are AIPAC and Trump donors dumping cash into my opponent’s campaign?

They’ve decided she’s their best investment opportunity. That should be a major red flag for voters in this district.

Incredibly proud to be the chief sponsor of the Jesse Jackson, Sr., Young Voter Empowerment Law. While the Trump admin tries to roll back our civil rights, we’re doing just the opposite here in Illinois.
Illinois lawmakers introduce bill to expand voter registration for high schoolers
Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr., is a trailblazer, pioneer and icon who fights for voter rights and democracy, and a new bill seeks to honor his legacy in a unique way.

I’m shocked to hear about the passing of Harvey Mayor Christopher Clark. I got to know him as we both served on a property tax reform task force and he was always so thoughtful and passionate. Sending love to his friends and family. May his memory be for a blessing.

As we again face a rising threat of fascism, may we use this International Holocaust Remembrance Day to solemnly rededicate ourselves to fighting for a world free of the dehumanization and hate that fueled the murder of 6 million Jews, and the millions of others.

They’re throwing their own people under the bus because they’re feeling the pressure of our outrage.

We can’t let up now. Keep pushing.

And in the meantime, good riddance to this dangerous lunatic. We’ll see you in court when you’re prosecuted for your crimes.

This isn’t complicated. My opponents should be able to say clearly and directly where they stand when it comes to funding ICE and impeaching Kristi Noem.

The fact that they haven’t says it all.

Our government has violently turned on its own populace.

The House, including 7 Democrats, just voted to keep funding these masked federal agents who are killing people in the street.

The emergency is not theoretical—it’s here. We need Dems in Congress with actual principles.

I am really proud to have earned the support of Unite Here Local 1, which represents thousands of workers in our school lunchrooms, restaurants, hotels, airports and convention centers. They’re the backbone of our economy, I’m grateful to know that they stand with me in this fight.

“Solidarity is how we win.”
State Sen. Robert Peters stood with the people at the AT&T Loves ICE action, calling out ICE violence and corporate greed.
AT&T profits off fascism—and we’re organizing to hold them accountable.
Dump ICE.
