From Albany Park to Logan Square and Humboldt Park, our movement is ready to keep delivering results for our communities. We’ll build affordable housing and protect tenants, defend our neighbors from ICE, tax the rich, and invest in our schools, parks, and public transit.

Thank you to the dozens of neighbors who came out tonight to the Belmont Blue Line ETOD meeting tonight. I am excited for us to create a plan that will develop more affordable & accessible housing options, increase safety for pedestrians, cyclists, & transit riders, & support local businesses.

The Department of Planning & Development & Regional Transportation Authority are partnering to create an equitable transit-oriented development (ETOD) plan around the Belmont Blue Line station in the 35th Ward! 🚆🚌🚴🏘️ Attend our first open house tonight, 6PM at NEIU El Centro, 3390 N. Avondale.

Thank you to everyone who joined us last night at the Hairpin Arts Center in the 35th Ward for a town hall on the Fair Elections Ordinance. The proposal would create a public campaign financing program that matches and amplifies small-dollar contributions in Chicago municipal elections.

❌ Today, for a second quarter in a row, City Council has ghosted CTA at the quarterly hearings THEY mandated by law. This is profoundly unacceptable, particularly as we are rapidly racing toward a critical deadline for NITA board appointments that will have to be approved by Council.

The Grace’s Furniture building has been vacant for 20 years. When I became alderman last year, I made it a priority to help secure an adaptive reuse project that would bring good-paying jobs and community benefits to the 35th Ward. I am proud that we have delivered this investment in Logan Square.

Yesterday, we celebrated the completion of the Milwaukee Avenue Streetscape Project, a historic investment in Avondale & Logan Square! This project improves safety & accessibility for pedestrians, cyclists & drivers, creates new public spaces, & reflects years of community advocacy & culture.

¡Viva Puerto Rico! I’m proud to have joined the Puerto Rican People’s Day Parade in Humboldt Park alongside our Northwest Side Progressive coalition. What a beautiful day to march, dance, and eat with community. Now and every day, we fight for a Puerto Rico libre y soberano. ¡Diviértete, Chicago! 🇵🇷

Happy Pride, Chicago! Today, we hosted our 3rd annual Progress Pride Flag raising in Logan Square with community members, elected officials, & the City of Chicago’s Director of LGBTQ+ Affairs, Antonio King. As we celebrate Pride, we must always remain vigilant against attacks on our community.

Thank you to the more than 50 neighbors who joined us for our 4th Annual Connecting Neighborhoods bike ride! It was a beautiful day to be together in community & solidarity. I’m proud of the work we’re doing in the 35th Ward to make our streets & public spaces safer & more accessible for everyone.

Happy Opening Day to the Logan Square Farmers Market! When we make more space for people, people show up. The transformational redesign of Logan Square is helping strengthen our neighborhood’s cultural and civic life, support small businesses, and create safer, healthier public spaces for everyone.
