Illinois public transit is about to run out of money. We're standing at the edge of a fiscal cliff. BUT we can still turn this around! Tell the Illinois General Assembly, transit is essential to our lives, and it's time to fix and fund it. 🚇🚏📍 https://ow.ly/qRkZ50X6oiT

CHICAGO: When our communities are under attack, what do we do? STAND UP, FIGHT BACK! We will FIGHT BACK against Trump’s racist and white supremacist attacks on our communities. 📆 TOMORROW 🕠 5:30 PM 📍 Ida B. Wells & Michigan Ave

Ending this fascist regime and building a true democracy for all in its place.

NO ICE! NO TROOPS! This week, we joined protesters in the Loop to protest ICE raids and Trump's latest threats to send Troops to Chicago, and we'll keep marching for our communities.

Illinois State Police are protecting ICE as they move their vehicles in and out of the Broadview Detention Center. Call Governor Pritzker NOW at 312-814-2121 to demand he remove ISP from Broadview.

Illinois' transit fiscal cliff will leave riders stranded and workers fearing layoffs. The people and taxpayers of Illinois deserve better; we can't keep kicking the can down the road. Now is the time to fully fund and pass transit reforms. https://bit.ly/transitcliffresponse

The transit fiscal cliff is also a downstate issue. Agencies "need operational funding to keep their systems going to serve the workers & people of downstate IL," says Bob Guy of SMART Transportation Division. Urge legislators to support transit for ALL: buff.ly/r0MONbk
