Now more than ever we need a Congresswoman who is rooted in the lives and struggles of working people!
Meet Jill
Jill is a labor organizer and mother of 3. Like so many folks, her family struggles to pay the mortgage and keep the bills paid. Living has become entirely unaffordable and we are being forced to make impossible decisions between groceries and healthcare and paying the rent.
​
As a young working mom, she worked restaurant jobs while earning her degree at Northeastern Illinois University. She's worked retail, stocking shelves and freezers at Walmart to create stability for her family. Jill had the honor of serving as an Elected School Board Member for Niles Township District 219. During her time on the school board, she was priced out of her Skokie apartment and now lives in Evanston.
She became a full time organizer to fight for affordable housing, a progressive income tax, and to fight for the rights of workers. Jill is now Executive Director for an organization that works to bring labor and community together, fighting for the rights of workers across the state of Illinois.
​
Our country's issues with economic injustice, corporate greed, unjust immigration policies, housing instability, climate change, and political power hoarding are not new problems for working people. These issues have impacted the lives of the working class for decades. Together, we're going to build an economy that works for all!
​
This campaign may have Jill's name on it, but a better future for all is ours to fight for, and win, together. Jill believes in a future built for us, by us. And that's what she's fighting for.​​
Together, we are fighting for:
-
A fully funded public school system where teachers are paid the wages they deserve.
-
An economy that works for everyone. No more making deals that benefit billionaires while working people suffer to afford to live their lives.
-
Accessible pathways to citizenship and work permits for all!
-
Federal protections for all workers' rights including fair wages, safe and healthy workplaces, and protection of our collective bargaining rights.
-
Protection and expansion of our rights and access to healthcare.
-
Women's and LGBTQIA+ rights to bodily autonomy and our rights to equitable healthcare.
-
Climate protections for all! That means not making deals on the backs of Black, Brown, and immigrant communities for the benefit of corporate greed. It means fully funding our transit systems and creating strong union jobs to build healthy, green, walkable communities for all!
-
Fundamental human rights protections for all! Ending our global participation in genocide and famine.​
For decades, corporations have enjoyed free reign over our federal government.
That stops now.
We won't make deals on the backs of working people. We won't stay quiet while ICE kidnaps our families. And we won't let them have a moment of peace while they
take away our rights.
We're going to be loud. We're going to be heard. We're going to build the future we all deserve. And together, we're going to win.
