Save the date for the largest national one-day food drive on May 13th and Stamp Out Hunger. Place healthy, unexpired, non-perishable items in bags by your mailbox, and you will be helping to #endhunger! #Stampouthunger

Illinois is now the third state in the nation––and the first in the Midwest––to guarantee paid leave for all workers. This historic legislation is a game changer for so many working families and a critical step in building a more equitable state.

2022 has made it clear: having STEM professionals in state legislatures & local offices matters--a lot. They’re protecting reproductive health & fighting against climate change. We’re proud to endorse these 27 candidates running in down-ballot races.

I implore – beg – my Republican colleagues to join Democrats in finally making changes to our gun laws to help prevent Americans from re-living this gun tragedy far too often. We cannot continue to sit on our hands and allow innocent lives to be lost. Congress must act.

Schools are supposed to be a place of learning and fun with friends, a place where every parent can send their children and know they will come home safe and sound. We can't continue to live this way. We owe our children more than thoughts and prayers. We owe them action.
