The work continues: This legislation would protect Illinoisans from price gouging and data privacy threats. We need to make sure working families have an easier time buying groceries and putting food on their table.

We worked hard, organized, and built a big coalition, but we couldn’t compete with the millions of dollars from Trump-aligned super PACs in this race. We may have lost this battle, but we're going to keep fighting until we beat Trump and build a better world that we know is possible.

Happy primary election day, Illinois! I'm proud to have endorsed @julianastratton.bsky.social, @junaidforus.bsky.social, @robertpeters.bsky.social, and @danielbiss.bsky.social in their races today. They will fight to take on corruption and lower costs for families.

As the polls close, I am so grateful for every voter, donor, and volunteer who joined this movement. We’ve been outspent more than 11:1 in this race, but we haven’t been outworked. I am so proud of everything we’ve built. PS: If you’re in line to vote, stay in line!

I’m so proud of the campaign we’ve run—but one of the things I’m proudest of is the beautiful, powerful, diverse coalition of support we’ve built. Last day before Election Day and we’re all going all out. Sign up to Get Out the Vote tomorrow: mobilize.us/robertpeters...

We’re proud to announce our endorsement of @robertpeters.bsky.social! Like our local groups that first endorsed him and the supermajority of Indivisibles in IL-02 who voted to back him, we believe Robert is the strongest candidate to lead the fight for our democracy. 🧵

Time for a War Powers Resolution vote. Let’s get everyone on the record.

Out today supporting Robert Peters for Congress! @robertpeters.bsky.social

Trump is dragging us into another dangerous and illegal regime change war. The American people—people from our communities—are the ones who will pay for it. Every one of us must lift our voices forcefully right now against this. NO WAR WITH IRAN.

AIPAC is targeting me because they’re worried I won’t go along with their MAGA-aligned agenda in Congress. They’re absolutely right.

Still thinking about @robertpeters.bsky.social's powerful reflections at our Every Life, A Universe gathering in 2024.  It’s easy to see why AIPAC is desperate to keep him out of office – he holds the “radical” belief that safety comes through solidarity, not nationalism or military might.

We’re endorsing @robertpeters.bsky.social for Congress. From leading Illinois to become the first state to end cash bail, to serving as the Chair of the Senate Labor Committee, Robert has fought tirelessly for working families across Illinois.

We are taking on the Trump-aligned trifecta of AIPAC, AI, and Crypto super PACs. And we’re gonna win.

No war with Iran.

Why is Donna Miller staying silent on ICE accountability? One reason: Trump 💰💰💰

This such important reporting on the tech billionaire bros buying Dems in primaries. So-called Fairshake PAC is lying about @robertpeters.bsky.social (using progressives messaging) because he passed a law in the IL Senate to protect seniors from scams and regulate big tech. #endcitizensunited

The pro-crypto super PAC, Fairshake, has almost $200 million at its disposal to buy elections in favor of politicians who'll work to make crypto billionaires richer. The crypto industry is afraid of @robertpeters.bsky.social because he's committed to putting working people first. #IL02

We proudly endorse @robertpeters.bsky.social for Congress. 🧵

Peters was my state legislator in Hyde Park. He’s as good as I’ve seen in Illinois

When Sen. Robert Peters spoke @netrootsnation.bsky.social in ‘23 I was VERY impressed. So of course crypto creeps are attacking him @robertpeters.bsky.social

Today, State Senator Robert Peters joined TPL, Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP), and Citizen Action members for National Nurses United's Vision For A Healthy Society forum in Calumet City! We're discussing what it'll take to truly transform our system and advance health care justice.

Proud to be endorsed by @indivchisouth.bsky.social. This is a campaign that is powered by grassroots organizing, and that’s what Indivisible is all about.

Elizabeth Warren is a hero of mine. As right-wing forces try to buy this seat, our movement needs to stay united and fight back. I’m grateful to Sen. Warren for standing with us in this battle.

Let’s talk about the shady right wing shell PAC trying to buy this seat.

Girl, I Guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is out and they, like me, think you should vote for @robertpeters.bsky.social for Congress. He led the charge that ended cash bail in Illinois! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

We’re endorsing @robertpeters.bsky.social for IL-02. A community organizer & state legislator, Peters has spent his career listening to working people & delivering for them — while taking on corporate-backed opponents & fighting to protect Social Security, Medicare, immigrants, & working families.

Why is a shady right wing super PAC trying to buy this seat for Donna Miller? This should be a red flag for every voter in this district.

AIPAC cash has popped up in the race to replace Robin Kelly in IL-02. "Affordable Chicago Now" is a SuperPAC that just organized a week ago and hasn't identified any of its donors. The PAC is supporting Donna Miller, whose donors are primarily AIPAC donors. Robert Peters' campaign emails:

Why are AIPAC and Trump donors dumping cash into my opponent’s campaign? They’ve decided she’s their best investment opportunity. That should be a major red flag for voters in this district.

Incredibly proud to be the chief sponsor of the Jesse Jackson, Sr., Young Voter Empowerment Law. While the Trump admin tries to roll back our civil rights, we’re doing just the opposite here in Illinois.

“If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” Frederick Douglass was speaking about West Indies Emancipation as a reminder that freedom came from the struggles of enslaved Africans. 1/2

I’m shocked to hear about the passing of Harvey Mayor Christopher Clark. I got to know him as we both served on a property tax reform task force and he was always so thoughtful and passionate. Sending love to his friends and family. May his memory be for a blessing.

As we again face a rising threat of fascism, may we use this International Holocaust Remembrance Day to solemnly rededicate ourselves to fighting for a world free of the dehumanization and hate that fueled the murder of 6 million Jews, and the millions of others.

Each Saturday, we're braving the wind and snow to canvass for amazing candidates running for office, like Robert Peters for Congress and Wesam Shahed for Cook County Commissioner. Come canvass with us! Sign up for a shift on Jan 31, Feb 7, or Feb 14 on our website. https://ow.ly/4ykX50Y1RkQ

They’re throwing their own people under the bus because they’re feeling the pressure of our outrage. We can’t let up now. Keep pushing. And in the meantime, good riddance to this dangerous lunatic. We’ll see you in court when you’re prosecuted for your crimes.

Abundant Housing Illinois is excited to endorse Robert Peters for U.S. Congress in Illinois’ 2nd Congressional District! 🏘️

This isn’t complicated. My opponents should be able to say clearly and directly where they stand when it comes to funding ICE and impeaching Kristi Noem. The fact that they haven’t says it all.

Our government has violently turned on its own populace. The House, including 7 Democrats, just voted to keep funding these masked federal agents who are killing people in the street. The emergency is not theoretical—it’s here. We need Dems in Congress with actual principles.

I am really proud to have earned the support of Unite Here Local 1, which represents thousands of workers in our school lunchrooms, restaurants, hotels, airports and convention centers. They’re the backbone of our economy, I’m grateful to know that they stand with me in this fight.

We've endorsed Robert Peters because he's been a champion for working families as a politician and organizer. We want to send him to DC, but he needs our help to get there. Come canvass with us on Saturdays! Sign up for a shift on Saturday, Jan 24 or Jan 31. https://thepeopleslobbyusa.org/events/

“Solidarity is how we win.” State Sen. Robert Peters stood with the people at the AT&T Loves ICE action, calling out ICE violence and corporate greed. AT&T profits off fascism—and we’re organizing to hold them accountable. Dump ICE.

Today's murder in Minneapolis is just the latest example of the federal government perpetuating violence against civilians and terrorizing families. It's heartbreaking, infuriating, and maddening. But we can and will stand up to this terror, and we will take back our country.

Today, @robertpeters.bsky.social and I joined Chicagoans across the city in rallying against Trump’s unilateral imperialist “regime change” bombing of Venezuela as a pretext for capitalizing from their oil. We need to not repeat the atrocities of the past.
