Time to retire that Stephen Jay Gould quote. From now on, say: "For every Michael Jordan, there's an Earl Manigault."

Z will try to make NYC a place where everyone makes it. Our task is to help get him a million votes to really give it a go.

The best way: canvass.

CALL PRITZKER TO DEMAND HE REMOVE ILLINOIS STATE POLICE FROM BROADVIEW:
(Chicago) 312-814-2121 or 312-814-2122
(Springfield) 217-782-6830 or 217-782-6831
Hearing impaired (TTY): 888-261-3336

I called and talked about how the state cops joined ICE in brutalizing protesters today.

Illinois State Police are protecting ICE as they move their vehicles out of the Broadview Detention Center. Call Governor Pritzker now to demand that he remove the ISP from Broadview. No state resources to protect kidnappers. Pritzker: Call off the IL state police 312-814-2121

Happening now: at Kedzie and 40th, where Border Patrol agents just opened fire on rapid response this afternoon. A woman CFD says they found after the incident is reported in fair condition.

A growing number of outraged neighbors have gathered across from ICE/CBP agents who have closed Kedzie.

We rely on #PeoplePower to elect #ProvenProgressives who will fight for working people's rights while also acting as organizers-in-office. Over the next few weeks, we'd like to highlight some of our canvassers and what calls them to join.

Introducing Katy!

Volunteers are hard at work screen printing for 2025 #BikeWithRossana! We believe in her because she has led the fight for non-police emergency response units and hosted town halls to #ResistTrump. Whether or not you live in Chicago, donate for a #ProvenProgressive.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

I’m a Congressional Candidate. I Was Assaulted by ICE.

An interview with Kat Abughazaleh, a 26-year-old Democratic House candidate in Illinois, who was violently thrown to the ground twice at a peaceful protest in Illinois on Friday morning.

Lots of folks in the replies and quotes saying don't RSVP to protests. They're right! Also, this is not a protest. It's a town hall organized by our northwest side elected officials and community organizers. Make the choice that's right for you!
