- For young men of #ChicagoCRED, gun violence has devastated families for too long. It's why they're en route to DC: to stand up & #MarchForOurLives "I lost two of my cousins to gun violence. For me it's either be part of the problem, or part of the solution in Chicago." –Lenard

- “Before we know, our restaurants will be full again, our employees will keep working and provide for their families, our guests will come back, and we, the people, will be stronger than ever.” @WCKitchen27 years ago I opened @jaleo....today we are closed. This is a hard time, but we are one big family & we will get through this. We can all take care of each other...sometimes that’s all it takes. So be strong. We can change the world through the power of food. #ChefsForAmerica

Trump likely can’t do that — but that doesn't mean voting will go off without a hitch in November (In partnership with @emcollective)
