Workers at the Chicago Botanic Garden are coming together with CMRJB Workers United for a voice on the job. Today, they spoke at the Cook County Forest Preserve District Board, which passed a resolution supporting the workers ✊ It’s time for management to do the right thing!

Sooner or later, the gridlock is coming for YOU! And not just on the Kennedy or Dan Ryan. Whether it’s LaGrange or Manheim, or Route 83, 53, 59… you name it. This will affect your community. Less public transit means more cars on the road.

Better set that wake-up alarm a little earlier… With more traffic, making it to work before 9 AM will be harder. Kids can’t get to school on time. Parents can’t get to work on time. It’s that simple.

Are you ready to spend an EXTRA 400 MINUTES in traffic every month?!? If we don’t fix our public transit, everyone will face longer travel times. That’s 400 minutes less you have to spend playing with the kids in the backyard, having dinner with the family, or simply NOT being stuck in traffic.

We can transform our public transit system into a model of efficiency, safety, and reliability for the whole nation. The Illinois General Assembly needs to act now. Good transit is good for all of Illinois.

Are you ready to give up days of your life stuck in traffic because Springfield couldn’t fix and fund public transit? Let’s do the math… Without a strong public transit system, a 25 min commute becomes 34 mins. Same on the way home. That’s 2 hours you’re missing EVERY WEEK!

DOGE officials have been completely unaccountable. They’re hiding their own work from oversight with armed guards and putting all of our sensitive data at risk. DOGE must be dismantled before they throw even more lives into chaos.

A new Senate report claims DOGE put every American's Social Security number at risk—and that officials at federal agencies essentially obstructed an investigation, all but denying DOGE even exists.
