Something to keep in mind as Republicans cut off SNAP benefits from 2 million Illinoisans in November.
SNAP benefits will not be paid out on November 1st if the government remains in a shutdown.
45% of SNAP households in Illinois include children and 44% include a person with a disability.
You are not better than someone on welfare, just luckier.

Illinois farmers are suffering because of Trump's tariffs.
Trump gave Argentina our soybean business and a $20 Billion bonus.

This Labor Day, remember how important unions are for workers' rights. Thank a union member for working for those protections and support candidates who bolster unions instead of busting them!
10 reasons you should thank a union. 1. Weekends. 2. Workday breaks. 3. Paid vacation. 4. FMLA. 5. Sick leave. 6. Social Security. 7. Minimum Wage. 8. 8 hour workday. 9. Overtime pay. 10. Child labor laws. IBEW.org @IBEW

Darin LaHood is helping deliver a devastating blow to his constituents in the 12th district in order to appease Donald Trump. He aided a toxic attack on Illinoisans to rip away quality, affordable health care and take food off of many Illinoisans' tables — all to give tax handouts to the top 1%. 1/2
“Darin LaHood is helping deliver a devastating blow to his constituents in the 12th district in order to appease Donald Trump. He aided a toxic attack on Illinoisans to rip away quality, affordable health care and take food off of many Illinoisans' tables — all to give tax handouts to the top 1%. But we’re ready to fight back. Make no mistake: Democrats will ensure Illinois voters have the knowledge and tools they need to fight for working families and hold every Republican loyal to billionaires over working families accountable at the ballot box.”

#MarriageEquality #Obergefell
I remember watching the breaking news with my partner Shawn 10 years ago today when love finally won. Marriage Equality was never a given and while we celebrate how far we’ve come, we must recommit to protecting love, dignity, and equality for all! #LoveIsLove
