Support the Healthcare Sanctity & Privacy Act! "We have witnessed law enforcement weaponize our need to access hospitals, clinics, and other health care spaces across the state. These tactics jeopardize healthcare rights for ALL Illinoisians." @icirr.bsky.social www.canva.com/design/DAG1E...

www.checookcounty.org/so/57PdFwENi... Chicago is Choosing Justice Over Fear, As It Has In the Past.

In 1850, the federal government deputized local officials to enforce slavery. In 2025, it demands cooperation in deportation. Chicago resisted nearly two centuries ago, and it still is today.

Over 200 people protested #ICE abductions, brutality, murder, and mayhem at the #Broadview #Illinois detention center earlier today. A large contingent of religious from across the #Chicago metro area held a religious service during the protest. @indivisiblechicago.bsky.social @thenation.com

"The pursuit of rigorous medical science is not compatible with capitulation to government demands aimed at weaponising and eroding science...The Lancet stands with CHEST and the other medical journals that are being intimidated by the Trump administration." #StandUpFightBack #Science #HealthEquity

Message from constituents: Real people get hurt if you cut Medicaid Darin LaHood! About 100 faces posted on his office, Normal Illinois. #saveMedicaidLahoood

The faces of real people who will be hurt if Medicaid is cut are being taped to the office of LaHood. Rep LaHood keeps saying no one will be hurt. @apha.org #saveMedicaidLahood

Home care worker from Central IL Jenny: Our nation’s veterans rely on Medicaid health care when their VA doesn’t cover it. I know how devastating cuts to home services would be. Loss of food and transportation. Voters want to see Medicaid protected not cut. Darin LaHood needs to hear our voices.
