It’s about the people not the politicians! Trust that the whole movement will be on @Brandon4Chicago ass if he ain’t doing the work for marginalized & divested communities!
So let’s all hold him accountable now!
#PeaceBook #TreatmentNotTrauma #BringChicagoHome and more! – at Chicago, IL

"It's important to be represented in spaces where decisions are made. Representación es importante y por eso yo salgo a votar."

Chicago deserves a mayor who will invest in the working families' needs — affordable housing, health care, fully funded neighborhood schools, good jobs. That's the kind of mayor @Brandon4Chicago will be.
Join us as we rally to get out the vote this Thursday at 7 PM.

It’s beyond difficult to get your social security card & birth certificate when you’re houseless &/or estranged with your family. 2. Where’s the Pop Ed/Political Education for youth? A lot of youth didn’t know about the candidates or their platforms. 🧵👇🏾 – at Chicago, IL

We’re really excited & nervous about getting youth out to the polls to #Vote because after speaking with over 100 teens about voting we’ve seen striking similarities. 1. Barriers to voting like not having bills in their names, $ to get a State ID, having no home address 🧵👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 – at Chicago, IL

💥Please share this event with students, teens, or young adults that need a state ID. We will have a mobile unit on site issuing IDs as well as registering them to vote, all on the same day! @GKMC18 @STOPChicago @ChicagoVotes @KOCOmmunity

(1/3) Last Sunday, Chicagoans from across the city gathered for #APeoplesHearing.
We are so grateful for everyone who attended in-person or watched our livestream, and a HUGE shoutout to all of our amazing coalition partners who made this event possible. 🧵

The energy was electric at the Mayoral Forum! Now it’s time to take everything these candidates said with us to the polls! If you need a reminder of what was said that night, be sure to check out the People’s Unity Platform’s Voter Guide! peoplesunityplatform.com

This month has been exhausting! We high key don’t like electoral politics for real. Most of our organizing is in the community w/o support from elected officials. But since we’re trying to pass the #PeaceBook we’re been to 6 forums, hosted 1, co-hosted 1 & a march 2 the polls! – at Chicago, IL

Our youth are leading by example by voting early. Will you join them? Share your early voting pics so they know they’re not alone! #ForAllPeopleForAllChicago
