That crisis left thousands without jobs and many thousands more without access to the critical services they and their families needed.

The effects of the impasse serve as a stark reminder of what can and will happen to the most vulnerable communities in Illinois when resources are cut off.

"Contrary to Trump's rants, Illinois criminal justice reforms have been effective"‪

Thank you @repgreggjohnson.bsky.social‬ & @repguzzardi39.bsky.social‬ for speaking the truth & defending the Pretrial Fairness Act: chicago.suntimes.com/other-views/...

Ending cash bail doesn’t mean dangerous people are roaming the streets. It means that a judge decides whether a person should be released from jail pending trial based on risk and not wealth.
