@ChiYouthWorks goes beyond summer jobs, it offers real-world experience, leadership development, and a chance for young Chicagoans to make a difference in their communities. By empowering tens of thousands of young people across our city, my administration is continuing our record investments in Chicago’s future.

Since the start of my administration, we have significantly expanded youth employment opportunities, especially in our neighborhoods that have been historically neglected. @chiyouthworks celebrates the historic growth in opportunities for our young people and expands those opportunities well beyond the summer months.

I’m proud to endorse Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch for his run for State Central Committeeperson for the Illinois Democratic Party. As you always say, “Winners do the work.” My sleeves are rolled up, let’s keep doing the work. Happy Birthday Brother!

I appreciate the spotlight and support, Dave! Thank you for your commitment to education inside and outside of the classroom.

I was proud to join the @usmayors winter gathering last week. As mayors, we are demonstrating proven approaches to the affordability and housing crises, community safety, economic uncertainty, migrants' rights, and the ongoing fight to protect democracy at the local level.

The polling I'm concerned about concerns what policies working people want from their local government.

I believe the People of Chicago want a mayor who's laser-focused on addressing their needs, here and now.

Nobody is above the law. With today’s order, we are putting ICE on notice in our city. Chicago is leading the way as the first city to create infrastructure for holding ICE and CBP agents accountable for crimes against our communities.
