et to listen to one of my favorite Mayors - @chicagompo.bsky.social on local community centered solutions at the #Safe&Just Communities Summit hosted by the @naturbanleague.bsky.social

Also building out alternative community safety infrastructure including alternative public infrastructure outside of 911 & law enforcement to respond to community needs. And community violence intervention infrastructure to center prevention in the community. #SafeandJust Summit

Several key solutions highlighted by @chicagompo.bsky.social including investing in Chicago’s youth through a jobs program among other community solutions mentioned.

At a time when families need more support, the Trump administration has abandoned its most basic responsibility by gutting SNAP, putting millions of people at risk—Chicago refuses to accept that.

It’s not enough to just be able to afford a home. Our families deserve access to great schools and libraries so our children can stay and build their lives in Chicago.

NEW: Today, Mayor Brandon Johnson and the Chicago Department of Housing (DOH) announced an investment of more than $300 million in 15 affordable housing developments across the city as part of the 2025 Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP).

“By making underutilized and vacant land available for residential construction and other uses, we are creating pathways to make housing more affordable while increasing housing availability citywide,” @mayorofchicago.bsky.social said.

We’re stronger when we stand together. As local leaders we must act with moral clarity as we stand up to protect immigrant communities and defend our shared humanity from Trump's attacks.

“Here in the city of Chicago, we believe in protecting every person in this city… We’re going to end this assault against working people, against immigrants and end these endless wars.” ~Mayor Brandon Johnson, @mayorofchicago.bsky.social @blockclubchi.bsky.social Charles Thrush story on No Kings ⤵️

"Education transforms human beings. It’s helping give me a more hopeful look on what’s possible, if more people get involved in trying to change what prison is supposed to be like." -Ian Valencia, Northwestern senior at Sheridan.

Chicagoans show up every day—and I’ll always show up for them. I won't stop fighting until every worker in our city is guaranteed a living wage.

Today, I vetoed City Council's attempt to claw back a raise for Chicago's tipped workers. I will never back down from my commitment to build Chicago into the most pro-worker city in America.

Black and Brown women get unfairly blamed for a lot of things, and to blame them for the loss of business in Trump's economy is just absurd. If I have to veto something passed by ostensible Democrats to protect Black and Brown women, then veto it is.

Various Measures Introduced to and Approved by the Chicago City Council www.chicago.gov/city/en/dept...

NEW: Mayor Brandon Johnson led the City Council in unanimous approval of a resolution celebrating and honoring the life, leadership, and contributions of the Reverend Jesse Louis Jackson Sr. to Chicago, the nation, and the entire world.

Democrats have to listen to what working people in Chicago are calling for. I will not abandon phasing out the sub-minimum wage for tipped workers at a time when Trump's wars and tariffs are making it increasingly difficult to live and raise a family throughout the city and country.

Democrats on the City Council trying to roll back the wages of Black and Brown women, at a time when it is getting increasingly more difficult to afford to live in cities across the country, is not only tone deaf, it's irresponsible.

🚨📺 @mayorofchicago.bsky.social on the push to overturn One Fair Wage: At a time in which it is becoming increasingly more difficult to afford to raise a family in this country, Democrats rolling back the wages of Black and brown women, that's not only tone deaf, but it's irresponsible.

🚨📺 @mayorofchicago.bsky.social on the push to overturn the One Fair Wage ordinance: We had an 83% renewal for [restaurant] business licenses. There's a way in which we can continue to grow and build businesses while also making sure we're taking care of our workers.

“People who are closest to the danger, are closest to the solutions. We have to center our work around the people who have experienced these failed systems," said @mayorofchicago.bsky.social.

“At a time in which…it’s becoming increasingly more difficult to afford to raise a family in this country—Democrats rolling back the wages of Black and Brown women—that is not only tone-deaf, but it’s irresponsible,” @mayorofchicago.bsky.social said.

🚨📺 @mayorofchicago.bsky.social on the push to overturn the One Fair Wage ordinance: At a time in which its becoming increasingly hard to live in this city, cutting the wages of workers is antithetical to what we're trying to build when we talk about safe and affordable communities.

The best way to repopulate the West and South Sides is by investing in them.

What is the best way to defend against Trump's tyranny? Do we cower and let him intimidate us, or do we come together and stand up?

@mayorofchicago.bsky.social said WTF he said ✊🏾

WTTW: According to the report, [the] community areas with the greatest CVI investment, totaling more than $500,000 per quarter, saw the largest reversals in shooting trends following pandemic-era spikes in gun violence.

A new study has found that increased investments in a violence intervention program that targets Chicago communities and hotspots with the highest rates of gun violence have led to continued declines in the number of shootings and homicides. https://to.wttw.com/4aLasVt
