Brown v. Board happened less than a lifetime ago, and it’s up to all of us to stand up, speak out, and work toward a quality education for every child.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 17(source)

Across the country, protections meant to prevent discrimination are being dismantled. QUALIFIED individuals are being fired, books are being burned, curriculums erased, and lessons about our history removed from schools, workplaces, and trainings.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 17(source)

SNAP is not a handout, it’s a hand up.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 13(source)

Republicans want to cut $230 billion from SNAP benefits. Costs are rising, and more people are going hungry. We should be expanding basic assistance programs, not abandoning those who need them most.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 12(source)

268,901 people in #IL01 could lose their health care because of this heartless Republican budget. Tomorrow, I’ll fight to protect my constituents and all Americans who rely on Medicaid from these harmful cuts!

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 11(source)

Everyone has the right to due process, regardless of legal status. Breaking up families and deporting hard-working, law-abiding individuals is lacking compassion and unjust.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 11(source)

As we honor our mothers, we must also recognize that too many are being failed by a system that should protect them.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 11(source)

Wishing all moms a Happy Mother’s Day.  Today we celebrate your love, your sacrifices, and the strength you show every single day.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 10(source)

I thank God for the new Pope Leo XIV. If anyone were to right a world going in the wrong direction, it would be someone from the South Side of Chicago.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govMay 10(source)

As we honor those who have dedicated their lives to ensuring the well-being of others, we celebrate leaders like Mary Eliza Mahoney, the first Black professionally trained nurse in the United States.
