Residents of the Loop, Chicago’s downtown area, live on average until they are 87. In the West Garfield Park neighborhood, the average is 67. (via @wbez.org)
There’s a 20-year life expectancy gap in Chicago. Many of these deaths are preventable.
West Garfield Park residents are expected to live on average until 67 years old, compared to Loop residents living to age 87. This is widest death gap in Chicago and the biggest gap of any big U.S. city, the most recent data shows.

Friendly reminder that striking workers are asking you not to patronize ANY Starbucks store.
If you're traveling this week, your airport definitely has other options. Zero reason to even think about crossing a picket line!

Child marriage is heinous, but one thing I never see brought up in those discussions is that if you are under 18, you cannot file for divorce. If you are under 18 and married to an adult, they are your legal guardian and make decisions for you. That is not a partnership.

“Anti-trans harassment and violence is all the rage. Trans people are afraid to leave the country, let alone leave their houses. The right-wing ecosystem has gladly spent years creating these conditions, while Democrats have by turns avoided saying anything about them at all” 😞

Republicans just passed the most dangerous bill in U.S. history. The largest transfer of wealth from everyday people to the ultra-rich in history.
In the coming weeks, we're announcing our support for challengers to those who betrayed their communities by voting for this bill.
