I will forever be proud of the work I did with NARAL and all the wonderful people we brought together along the way. I promise to keep up that fight for you in the State Senate. 💜
Great to meet you too, and perfect—will look into it! 😊
Let’s talk about single-stair reform. ⬇️
Grab a drink with me on June 6! ⬇️
I’m running for State Senate because the people who got us into this mess are not going to get us out of it. Join our fight for a better future and be sure to like and share! 💙💛
To make our government more inclusive for everyone, we need to make structural reforms. So thankful for the conversation tonight with @chicagogrowthproj.bsky.social and the work we’re doing to build community across all parts of the city.
Happy to support! Wish we had more time to chat!
I have been at many protests over the years but I haven’t seen a crowd this large in a while. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are throwing the country (and the economy) into a tailspin and people aren’t having it.
Big fights ahead—let’s keep this fire within us going.

What does “community” mean to you? To me, it’s about fighting for your neighbors. Whether we’re talking about building more housing, better health care, or just having a good time in the neighborhood, I’m so glad to be building a better tomorrow with you all!
Dick Durbin has shown he has no spine, backing a funding bill supported by Donald Trump and the GOP. This isn’t leadership — it’s weakness.
We need bold Democrats who won’t fold under pressure. It’s time to replace leaders who refuse to fight for our values. thehill.com/homenews/sen...
How would you reimagine the public transit system in Chicago? Thankful to everyone who joined the salon tonight on the future of transportation! Hope you can join us at another one soon. 🚊🚍🚲
In this moment, Democrats need to find a spine and get to work for the people they represent. The playbook of the past hasn’t worked for decades. It’s time to do something different—FIGHT.
Excellent piece from @meredithshiner.com: newrepublic.com/article/1909...

Last night, we had an excellent salon about art and pushing for societal change.
The main question: “What is the role of artists?” Art is an incredible unifier that can bring people together, and even though we all process things differently, it’s a great starting point to relate to our neighbors.
I have hope for what’s to come in 2025 thanks to people like Karen and our friends who are fighting for a better tomorrow. I’m so lucky to celebrate the first salon of the year with this group and continue supporting our neighbors!
Forty years ago, the federal government ignored the AIDS crisis and we lost an entire generation of LGBTQ leaders.
On #WorldAIDSDay, Illinois needs fighters at the state level who will fully fund orgs on the frontlines, support inclusive sex ed in schools, and end this epidemic.
We need more spaces to be together and build community, right?
Come join me in my new group, the Chicago Salon Club!
I’m hosting salons to discuss hot topics, chat over dinner and drinks, and learn from each other. Sign up! And see you soon! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Each of us has a story so important to tell. Especially in the turbulent times ahead, I’m ready to fight like hell and build a better tomorrow.
I’ll keep doing these all across Chicago in the year ahead. Join me! And let’s get to work!
Through the year we’ve covered hot topics like the role of nonprofits, the corporatization of health care, and media’s role in holding elected officials accountable. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
All year, I’ve been hosting “salons” for two reasons: 1) to celebrate all the wonderful people in my life and 2) to foster a community space where people can discuss and share ideas freely—all over dinner and drinks.
