July 25th will now be known statewide in Illinois as a Day of Reflection and Remembrance for Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley. We understand here in our state that we cannot build a more just future if we are unwilling to confront the injustices of our past.
Today, Governor JB Pritzker joined legislators and community members at Roberts Temple Church of God in Christ to sign HB 4323, officially designating July 25 as Emmett Till Day in Illinois.

So, Mr. Tiny hands claims that there are 1,700 known Iranian sleeper cells in the us. So, Why is ICE wasting time, money, & resources to round up nannies, farm workers, gardeners, daycare workers etc? B/c it wasn't about stopping illegal immigration but about using a fear tactic to stay in power.

Proud that New York is one of 12 states suing to stop Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros.

This is not a merger that serves the public. It would hand one company nearly a third of the movies and cable channels Americans watch, raise prices for streaming and cable, endanger the livelihoods of thousands of New York artists and entertainment workers, and threaten to shutter theaters across our city. 

New York's workers helped build this industry. They should not be sacrificed for the sake of further corporate consolidation.
