We are encouraging all of our members, neighbors, and friends to contact Representative Kelly Cassidy (HD-14) and ask her to join her Democratic caucus colleagues in co-sponsoring HB 2723. It is time for Illinois to meet Illinoisans where they are at and repeal this extremist law!

Democrats are fed up with the unconditional support our country grants to the Israelis, particularly while they prohibit aid from being distributed in Gaza. We urge our members, neighbors, and friends to tell @durbin.senate.gov and @duckworth.senate.gov that they must support an arms embargo.

Btws - want to show your opposition to the criminal Trump administration this Saturday, but can’t get to the main protest downtown because of mobility concerns or childcare obligations? Some neighbors are having an Edgewater-specific event that you can go to at the same time!

The City of Chicago is considering upzoning Broadway, and we encourage everyone to call their representative on city council to support it. Our neighbors deserve safer streets, responsible development, and more affordable housing, regardless of which side of the street they’re on.
