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.
In America today, the wealthiest 1% is now worth more than the entire American middle class. That never happened before.
❌ 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.
When we create more spaces for people and small businesses like Mucho Gusto in Logan Square, we get to collectively experience and celebrate the World Cup together. ¡Viva Mexico!
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.
A redevelopment project for the historic Grace’s Furniture building in the heart of Logan Square is back on the table after getting city funding. blockclubchi.co/43S9iof
A HUGE material victory for working-class tenants in NYC at a time when the cost of living is skyrocketing.
BREAKING: The NYC Rent Guidelines Board just approved a two-year rent freeze for about 1 million rent-stabilized apartments.
Congratulations to our comrades in New York City! Working-class democratic socialism is on the forward march in the United States.
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.
Today’s rebuilt Logan Square ribbon-cutting with: @anthonyjquezada.bsky.social, @mayorofchicago.bsky.social, @gracielaforsenate.bsky.social and more
¡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! 🇵🇷

Logan Square kicks off Pride Month with reminder: LGBTQ+ communities exist everywhere
Logan Square neighbors and LGBTQ+ people from across the city raised a Progress Pride Flag over the Northwest Side neighborhood on June 1 in a jovial Pride Month kickoff that included drag, rainbow cupcakes and dance music. The tradition—now in its third year—served as a reminder that queer communities exist in every Chicago neighborhood and not just famous enclaves like Lakeview and Andersonville.

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.

Had a great time joining parents & students this morning for their weekly bike bus from Palmer Square to St. John Berchmans School! Alderman La Spata & I talked about our shared commitment to continue investing in pedestrian & cyclist infrastructure that keeps our neighborhoods safe for everyone.
Tax the rich and build more housing for the unhoused.
The former Diplomat Motel on Lincoln reopened as Haven this month, serving as Chicago’s first transitional shelter that gives each resident their own private, bathroom-equipped room.
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.
Spotted @anthonyjquezada.bsky.social and @gracielaforsenate.bsky.social doing a little ballroom dancing on the Milwaukee Avenue pedestrianized plaza today!
Join us for our 4th Annual Connecting Neighborhoods bike ride on the northwest side 🚴 This year we will be riding through Logan Square, Hermosa, and Belmont Cragin and visiting some of our local parks. We will have food and light refreshments at the end of our ride! Don't have a bike? We got you!
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.
