As your 26W Alder, I'm committed to advocating for our community, especially our most vulnerable. Today, I'm sharing an important letter sent to the Poor People’s Army, requesting they reconsider their plan to set up a protest tent encampment in Humboldt Park during the DNC—(1/2)

I’ve signed on as a co-sponsor of the "Peace in the Middle East" resolution, introduced by Alder.Rodríguez. Hundreds of thousands of lives are at risk if de-escalation isn't achieved & humanitarian aid not delivered w/o delay. That's why we're calling upon @POTUS to act for peace

While I support their right to protest this action could interfere with the ongoing efforts my office & local organizations have made to house and support our unhoused residents in Humboldt Park. Learn more about our Humboldt Park Encampment Housing Initiative in my last IG post.

Today, the #OneFairWage ordinance passed out of the Workforce Dev. Committee 9 to 3 and will now go to a full City Council vote in Oct. Abolishing the sub-minimum wage for tipped workers is not just admirable, it's what’s just, what’s right, & what’s needed in this city. 🧵(1/2)
