A lot of folks are concerned with the recent changes to SNAP benefits. To make folks aware of the options that will remain available, regardless of what is going on with these benefits, my team and I have prepared this list of food pantries in our district.

Yesterday, we celebrated Veterans Day. It is an honor to serve our veterans in the 20th district. I see how they work daily to improve communities across our city and country. Their service goes beyond their uniform. This Veterans Day, we honor those who have served & continue to serve our country.

For 1.9 million Illinoisans and over 26,000 folks in my district, SNAP isn’t just extra help – it’s their only means of survival. Losing benefits will mean losing nourishment, stability and peace of mind for those already struggling to make ends meet. www.feedingillinois.org/food-resourc...

I am once again appalled at the callousness these agents displayed at their most recent operation, stooping so low as to target day care teachers. It is inexcusable for armed agents to barge in and out of several daycare classrooms to apprehend a teacher in front of young students.

My team and I are excited for the Northwest Center Community Celebration this Sat., Nov. 8, at their new building located at 5233 W. Diversey Ave. I hope to see you there for an afternoon of joy and community connection!

Last week, I voted to protect sensitive locations against overreach by federal agents, as we have seen all too often in Chicago these past few months. No one should feel scared to go to the doctor, pick their kids up from daycare, or testify in court against their abuser. youtu.be/6envfoNbY3Q

If we sit idly as Wall Street lets big energy companies raise electricity prices, we will be left to foot the bill of a broken system and risk people losing access to power entirely.

I helped to pass a measure expanding protections for immigrant Illinoisans from being detained at several sensitive locations, including hospitals, courthouses, daycares, and higher education institutions. Read more here:
