Husband, Father, Teacher, and the 57th Mayor of the City of Chicago. Political Account.
Donald Trump is gravely mistaken if he thinks he’s going to ride on the coattails of this administration.

Violence has been down in Chicago prior to ICE’s disruptive arrival and it will continue to go down. OUR work is working!

Justice Brandeis declared some years ago that America, before long, must make a choice. We can have democracy, or we can have a horde of multi-millionaires. We cannot have both.

Chicago, on your way to Wednesday night Bible study… remember, let’s stay saved.

Shout to out to Canton Jones for doing what our people have always done and finding joy in midst of struggle.

I’m excited to be in D.C. for CBC and speaking with my fellow Mayors, on the frontlines of this fight, to ensure our communities keep making progress. Black mayors across this country understand our assignment in this pivotal moment and we’re leading the way. @democraticmayors.bsky.social

Yesterday, I got to spend time at the Rainbow Push Coalition supporting the Hope With Helping Hands event.  

Over 3,000 bags of food was provided for 1,200 families in need. This is what community is all about!

Thank you to the courageous faith leaders taking a stand to protect this city.

Chicago, now is the time for us to lean on our faith, hold steadfast to
our convictions and turn toward one another to sustain us on the road ahead.

We will not grow weary. We will not faint. We will keep hope alive.

This has absolutely nothing to do with public safety. Violent Crime is dropping exponentially in Chicago and in Democratically led cities across America!

This President has declared war on poor and working class people.

Trump is trying to undermine the progress being realized by Black mayors.

I had a great time with my labor brothers and sisters at the Teamsters Local 743 picnic. Special shout out to the most sanctified Teamster Local President Debra Simmons-Peterson.

Chicago!!! You showed up and out at the 96th Annual Bud Billiken Parade!

I always love seeing the best of our city come to life with music, performances, dancing, and culture! You are all the reason why this is the greatest freaking city in the world!

Proud to welcome my Brother Mayor Dickens to Chicago as he campaigns to continue leading Atlanta into the future. Chicago and Atlanta have a rich history of working together to uplift our people. Keep making us proud! @andreforatlanta.bsky.social

Yo DMA! I’m headed to you!

Looking forward to being in Cleveland with my DMA President Mayor Justin Bibb and the rest of my colleagues as we organize to this meet moment.

“This is about making sure we don’t surrender our humanity. We have to turn toward one another. The great late saint John Lewis reminded us that sometimes it’s necessary to come together and punch back! Equity and justice is the righteous call for everyone!”

How do we build the safest, most affordable big city in America? We do it by investing in people.

I’m proud to be in alliance with my brothers Mayor Brandon Scott of Baltimore and Mayor Randall Woodfin of Alabama as they lead authentically with their values in their cities.

Happy Anniversary to my beautiful wife and my best friend Stacie!

For 27 years you’ve been an amazing partner, a loving mother to our incredible children, and my Forever First Lady. I thank God for you daily and I’m grateful to have you by my side.

Here’s to 27 more years and beyond!

Out of all the hats I wear, Dad will always be my favorite title. What I want for my children is safe communities, fully funded schools, and a government that believes in them and sees them, is what I want for all of our children across Chicago.

“ I remember that people always having an issue when Black leadership expressed itself…The signal from the White House has said that it’s ok to wage these attacks on Black leadership. It’s not just Mayor Brandon Johnson that’s feeling this, it’s across the nation.”

"With crime rates dropping, and with a historic teacher contract being settled without a strike. We know that our babies are in the middle of a mental health crisis, he reopens mental health centers. Nearly 30,000 young people will have jobs. (1/2)

“The Mayor of Chicago is showing the people of Chicago, that he has a government that looks like their city. That’s all he’s doing! What’s offensive about why they’re opening this investigation, is because these officials are Black they aren’t qualified to be in these positions?”

Huge shout out to Just Steve for adding your voice and talent to the beat of the city!

Just in time for #summertimechi! This is the Soul of Chicago!
