This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

Illinois' law is clear: No ICE detention centers in our state. And if it's used to detain people, it's a detention center. That's why Broadview must be shut down.

1.6 million Illinoisans have student loan debt, that's 13% of our population.

We’ve told these folks that if you work hard, get an education, and contribute to society — you can get ahead.
