To help make the cost of groceries more affordable, my administration is turning vacant land into urban farms, giving market grants to small entrepreneurs and expanding food markets in every neighborhood of our city.

When I put forth the largest bond investment in housing and economic development in Chicago's history, I knew I had to bring resources to the West Side first. The Austin HOPE Center is the kind of long-term investment that strengthens communities while creating new possibilities for young people and families.

I never tweet, but here we go: Could the recipients of Billionaire Mike Sacks donations, please come to the Board of Education meeting so we can vote on the referendum about millionaires paying their fair share. It's weird that you're ALL absent today.

Republicans need to stop capitalizing on pain and fear to distract from their failing economy and the consequences of their forever wars. People want real solutions that make their lives safer and more affordable. Here in Chicago, we’re focused on investing in our youth and strengthening our communities. While there is still more work to do, we are encouraged by a Memorial Day weekend that saw zero homicides. We are grateful to the first responders, CVI workers, and our community leaders whose work continues to help make our neighborhoods safer. – at Chicago, IL
Chicago recorded zero homicides over the long Memorial Day weekend. It’s the first time since 2010. MAGA definitely won’t like this.

It is so blatant now. Yet they still don’t get it. That even their own racism was created for them by the wealthy to keep them poor. Will they ever get it?

In case you were wondering...
Feels crazy this may need to be said…but having been the WH comms director for Obama and press secretary for Biden…no…campaign and White House comms staff do not work with media to pay off potential sources of bad stories…ever. I am certain my predecessors of both parties would confirm that too.

When individuals say Black Chicagoans want what asylum seekers want, it’s not true. Black Chicagoans want what they deserve. And I will not let an “us vs. them” mentality interfere with our work to provide a better life for anyone who wishes to have one in the city of Chicago.
