Money bond punishes people who are awaiting trial for being poor. Access to money shouldn’t determine whether someone is jailed or free while awaiting trial.
The Illinois legislature should pass the Pretrial Fairness Act to #EndMoneyBail #PretrialFairnessNow

Money bail can cause people to lose their jobs and custody of their children. #PretrialFairnessNow is a women’s rights issue! #EndMoneyBail

Every year, more than a quarter of a million people are incarcerated while awaiting trial in Illinois. Most of them are jailed only because they can't afford to pay a money bond.

The past eight months, we’ve been working to lower healthcare costs, protect our veterans and fight climate change.
I’m fighting in Congress for these and so many more. And I’m running for re-election - will you chip in to our campaign tonight?

We also recognize the adoption of the 19th Amendment achieved the right to vote for some women, not all. Women of color, who waited, advocated and fought for our right to vote wasn’t fully adopted until 1965. I honor and am committed to continuing this fight. #EqualityCantWait

Women were not given or granted the right to vote. Women have starved for the vote. Women have been beaten and imprisoned for the right to vote. Women have fought and died for the right to vote. #WomensEqualityDay #EqualityCantWait

Women in Chicago (and all over the country, for that matter) deserve to be paid equally as their male counterparts. We have to keep pushing for #EqualPay
