Sunjay in Uptown @sunjayforillinois.com · 29/05/2026Second is sustained investment in new, deeply affordable housing projects. That investment is not possible with our current revenue limitations. That's why we need to #TaxTheRich! 100
Sunjay in Uptown @sunjayforillinois.com · 29/05/2026This is still missing two important pieces (which are in ILGA's corner). First is to #LiftTheBan on rent regulation at the state level so municipalities can pass meaningful legislation to prevent displacement. 100
Sunjay in Uptown @sunjayforillinois.com · 29/05/2026These protections for tenants also complement the regulatory modernizations in the #BUILD plan. When we talk about needing an all-of-the-above approach to addressing the housing crisis, this is what we're talking about! 100
Sunjay in Uptown @sunjayforillinois.com · 29/05/2026These protections for tenants are HUGE! The RLTO has been an important backstop these past few decades but these modernizations are long overdue. 110

Sunjay in Uptown @sunjayforillinois.com · 21/05/2026The Digital Ad Tax would raise $200 million from Amazon alone and over $1.1 billion from big tech for the data they take from Illinoisians. 100
Sunjay in Uptown @sunjayforillinois.com · 15/05/2026With the weather warming up, we're expecting to see an increase in ICE activity. Now is a great time to get involved with your local ICE/Migrawatch network - we need all hands on deck to keep each other safe! 000

Sunjay in Uptown @sunjayforillinois.com · 11/05/2026This sort of local, block by block community care is just as crucial for building a Chicago that works for everyone as broader electoral and policy change. I hope to see many of you there and around the neighborhood this summer! 000
Sunjay in Uptown @sunjayforillinois.com · 11/05/2026Back in Uptown, I biked passed where I had passed out flyers earlier in the day for North Uptown Neighbors Association's upcoming neighborhood cleaning day. I had several conversations with neighbors who were excited for the opportunity to take care of each other and our neighborhood. 100
Sunjay in Uptown @sunjayforillinois.com · 11/05/2026Afterward, I took a long bike ride up the lakeshore path back to Uptown. It was an absolutely gorgeous day, though the wind was in my face the whole time. (I've heard the wind gradients called "Dutch hills" in the past, but I think we can also call them "Chicago hills" as the windy city.) 100
Sunjay in Uptown @sunjayforillinois.com · 11/05/2026We talked to and collected signatures from hundreds of neighbors in support of this initiative. People are excited to see more investment in mental health care! 120

Sunjay in Uptown @sunjayforillinois.com · 11/05/2026That includes mental health clinics in all 50 wards, designed with services that are tailored to the needs of each community. For example in Chinatown, language access is a huge barrier to mental health access, particularly for Chinese American seniors. Our elders deserve accessible care! 100
Sunjay in Uptown @sunjayforillinois.com · 11/05/2026In the afternoon I headed down to Bridgeport with Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Chicago to talk to neighbors about #TreatmentNotTrauma. We collected signatures demanding alders sign on to a plan to ensure free mental health services are available to all Chicagoans. 100

Sunjay in Uptown @sunjayforillinois.com · 11/05/2026Chicago was beautiful this Saturday! I had a ton of fun speaking with neighbors across the city about ways we can make Chicago work for everyone. 110
Sunjay in Uptown @sunjayforillinois.com · 02/05/2026In 2026, we're also experiencing intense attacks on our immigrant communities, including resumed ICE raids where multiple of our neighbors were kidnapped yesterday. Today's march is an important reminder that immigrant rights are workers rights, and our struggles are one struggle. 020
Sunjay in Uptown @sunjayforillinois.com · 02/05/2026They were protesting against an attempt by the US Congress to criminalize being undocumented, "HR 4437". And they were successful! The bill was killed in the Senate. 100
Sunjay in Uptown @sunjayforillinois.com · 02/05/2026This year marks 20 years since El Día Sin Inmigrantes. On May 1st, 2006, there was a country-wide boycott by immigrants led by Mexican and Chicano workers organizations. 400000 people protested in Chicago! 100
Sunjay in Uptown @sunjayforillinois.com · 02/05/2026Happy International Workers Day! I am honored to be able to help marshal with @icirr.bsky.social at today's march! 220
Sunjay in Uptown @sunjayforillinois.com · 31/03/2026This is sickening. "Conversion therapy" is abuse. That's why Illinois banned its use on minors a decade ago, and it's why it should be banned everywhere. For more information about the harms of so-called "conversion therapy", see: www.naswnc.org/page/BanConv... 001

Many of these organizations are where I got my start as a community organizer. I can't wait to bring the same energy to Springfield! 001
Sunjay in Uptown @sunjayforillinois.com · 13/03/2026I'm grateful that my campaign has been endorsed by progressive champions that I've long looked up to! Some of my first experiences with state and local campaigns were for these now-elected officials. I look forward to continuing to work with them as we build a more just system that works for all. 000
Sunjay in Uptown @sunjayforillinois.com · 12/03/2026I’m running because I love this district and I want to make it work for everyone.

Sunjay in Uptown @sunjayforillinois.com · 09/03/2026You need two pieces of identification - one with your current address (can be a utility bill or lease) and one with your face (can be a driver's license or passport or active student id). You DO NOT have to have an Illinois ID as long as you have that proof of address. 010
Sunjay in Uptown @sunjayforillinois.com · 09/03/2026Hi friends! I’ve had this conversation several times today with people who recently moved here, and it’s important to know: People can register same day at all early voting locations! 122

As State Representative, I will work to ensure the full spectrum of reproductive healthcare is affordable and accessible for all. 002
Sunjay in Uptown @sunjayforillinois.com · 24/02/2026I am fighting to keep healthcare available and accessible to marginalized communities because no one deserves to be sacrificed. Now is the time to stand up for the rights of undocumented immigrants and the queer and trans communities, not back down to the Trump agenda. 011

Sunjay in Uptown @sunjayforillinois.com · 05/02/2026I'm fighting for the people that make this neighborhood so great. We need stronger protections immigrants, LGBTQ+ folks and abortion access. We need better funding for housing, healthcare, public schools and public transit. And we can do that when corporations and billionaires pay their fair share. 000
Reposted by Sunjay in UptownThe People's Lobby @peopleslobbyusa.bsky.social · 30/01/20262/3: We amplified the demands our siblings in Minnesota have made: for Target to protect their employees from being arrested and assaulted at work, and publicly call for ICE to leave our states. Target should know that there's a cost to supporting the MAGA regime. 122
