Defending the Constitution since 1920. Retweets are not endorsements.
- The video released today shows that police shot Adam Toledo even though his hands were raised in the air. Given the long, sad history of the CPD, public accountability must be the guide post for this moment.
- Thank you to Governor @BruceRauner for signing #HB40 and standing up for women's reproductive health in Illinois! #ProtectionForWomen
- The children detained at O'Hare have been reunited with their mother after a long day. Special appreciation to all those who supported this family today. US citizens should not be treated in this way to enable cruel immigration policies. #FamiliesBelongTogether
- BREAKING: Gov. Pritzker has signed the Reproductive Health Act into law! The law is now clear in Illinois: decisions about reproductive health care are between patients, their family members, doctors and other health care providers. #RHAinIL
- Mayor Lightfoot's summary announcement of a potentially indefinite curfew tonight for the entire City – with hundreds of people trapped in the Loop – raises serious constitutional questions that need to be remedied. @ChicagosMayor
00:00- CPB has confirmed to @ACLUofIL lawyers that everyone detained today @fly2ohare has been released. Peaceful protests matter! #NoBanNoWall
00:00- BREAKING! As states across the nation rush to implement dangerous abortion bans, Illinois has responded by recognizing reproductive health care as a fundamental right, and by removing outdated statutes that make providing abortion care and contraceptives a crime #PasstheRHA
- We’re marching to speak up and fight for all our rights at the #WomenMarchChicago! #WomensMarchChicago2020 #WomensMarch
- The City of Chicago tries to block the release of a video showing CPD raid the wrong home – causing trauma and humiliation to a Black woman who was naked and sobbing. Transparency is central to accountability for Chicago police, who must treat people with respect.
- Every phone call, every letter, every email made this victory for reproductive rights possible. Illinois law soon will contain a fundamental right for all persons in Illinois to make decisions about reproductive health care. #RHAinIL chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-me…
- No one should be denied abortion coverage based on their income, zip code, or insurance. @GovRauner should sign #HB40. #RespectILWomen
