The subminimum wage is a vestige of slavery that disproportionately impacts Black and Brown workers, specifically women, the most. On the two year anniversary of passing the One Fair Wage Ordinance in Chicago, we reaffirm our commitment ensuring all workers are heard, seen, and valued.

We proclaimed June 17th as World Refugee Day in Chicago to honor refugee communities and their indelible contributions to our city and our country. Our city is richer and more vibrant because of the talent, diversity, and unique experiences refugee communities bring to our Welcoming City.

Happy Juneteenth, Chicago. Juneteenth is not just a commemoration of emancipation—it’s a call to action. It’s a reminder that freedom must be made real in housing, healthcare, education, and opportunity. #juneteenth #freedomday

Always keep 'em guessing. Saturday we stopped by Late Night Ball, an initiative designed to create safe alternatives during hours when violence is most likely to occur, with
Project sWISH. We are investing in safe, welcoming public spaces for our young people to gather.

We proudly celebrated Afro-Colombian Day on May 31st. Chicago is home to a vibrant Afro-Colombian diaspora who help make up the soul of Chicago. We honor your resilient spirits as you fight for equity, preserve your heritage, and enrich our city’s cultural fabric. #YouBelong #ImmigrantHeritageMonth

This is a devastating day for our city. We are grieving with Officer Rivera's family and her loved ones. Officer Rivera was a hero who was loved by many and she will be missed dearly. Please keep Officer Rivera's family in our prayers, Chicago.

Chicago, there is an air quality alert until tomorrow at midnight. Please share this widely.

Federal agents should never be allowed to come into our city and assault elected officials or any Chicagoan.

Enough is enough. We need the ultra-wealthy to pay their fair share so that we can fund a world-class public transit system.

Proud to announce the beginning of construction for one of the country’s most significant water infrastructure developments: the GPWC Water Project. This site will deliver water through Chicago to approximately 250,000 residents of the SW suburbs whose current water source is rapidly depleting.

Deeply appreciated discussing some of the more urgent issues facing Chicago, and how we are responding to challenges emerging from the federal level, with Shia Kapos, last week, as part of her Illinois Politico Playbook series at the Hideout.

Safe, affordable, and accessible housing is a basic human right. Elated to have participated in the groundbreaking of Humboldt Park Passive Living, a dynamic development that will create 60 new units and include solar panels, green community spaces, and electric vehicle parking on Chicago Avenue.

The infrastructure transformation being performed by Department of Water Management crews across the city will provide families and businesses all over Chicago security during heavy storms. Thank you to our DWM crews for working tirelessly throughout rain or shine to build a better Chicago.

Thankful to the Shade Room for the life and energy they've been bringing to Chicago. Last Thursday we dropped by to thank them for the vibrancy and love they emanate by proclaiming May 24th to be Tone Kapone Day in Chicago! @theshaderoom.com

We are deeply grateful to our water management crews for working on water main breaks, replacing sewer liners, and working on the recovery on the West and South sides from the storms in 2023. Our DWM workers embody building better together by securing our infrastructure throughout Chicago.

We're excited to announce the opening of the Navy Pier Marina, the first new marina to open in Chicago in decades. The Marina will act as a gateway for visitors, a resource for neighbors, and an opportunity hub for our youth to gain valuable workforce skills.

Crime is down in Chicago. We are grateful for this progress, but we know there is more to do. I want to thank our police officers, first responders, violence intervention workers, and community organizations who all worked hard this weekend keeping Chicagoans safe.
