It was great to run into Senator Guzman's constituent and my former staff member, Nura, on the blue line on the way back from the rally to fix and fund public transit!

This weekend our West Ridge community was struck by an act of gun violence when a member of our vibrant Orthodox Jewish community was shot while walking to his synagogue. I am devastated this violence took place within our neighborhoods, especially during a religious holiday.

I am encouraged by the group that has been nominated to the @RTA_Chicago Board by @ChicagosMayor. They represent the diversity of perspectives, from business to labor and beyond.

Good morning! I made the transfer at Clark/Lake to the Green Line on my way to celebrating 90 years of the Metropolitan Planning Council.
I had a lot of company as it was great to see folks using public transit to get to their job, school, and much more!
