Powerful storms brought destructive winds, hail, heavy rain, and widespread power outages across Chicagoland. Please stay away from downed power lines, follow guidance from local officials, and check on your neighbors. If you need assistance or resources, my office is here to help. Stay safe.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 27(source)

Humanitarian aid should never be delayed by unnecessary barriers. I continue to call on Secretary Rubio and Secretary Bessent to lift U.S. sanctions and economic restrictions that are severely hindering relief efforts, so lifesaving aid can be more effectively coordinated and delivered.

One month after earthquakes struck Venezuela, 1.8 million people (including 680,000 children) are in need. @houseforeign.bsky.social and I traveled to La Guaira to see @unicef.org's response firsthand.

While ramps on buses or accessible parking seem commonplace today, they were once the subject of a battle that landed on the steps of Congress. Do you know about one of the great civil rights moments in American history, full of emotional and dramatic stories? www.pbs.org/video/this-8...

Today, too many people with disabilities continue to face barriers, and the Trump administration has taken actions that threaten many of the hard-fought wins. Congress must shore-up and advance protections. These aren't abstract policy debates—they are matters of health, safety, and survival.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 27(source)

Due to the relentless advocacy of people with disabilities, 36 years ago today, the landmark civil rights legislation, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), was signed into law. But the ADA wasn't the finish line—it was a milestone on the path toward inclusivity and equity.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 25(source)

Today would have been Emmett Till's 85 birthday, but he was lynched in Mississippi. Mamie Till Mobley's courage exposed the brutality of racism in America & ignited the Civil Rights Movement. Today we also hold space for Nolan Wells and seek answers around his death. #Justicedelayedisjusticedenied.

Work must equal dignity—not poverty, not survival, not struggle. Learn about the Living Wage for All coalition — a 100+ organization movement fighting for one fair wage and an end to the subminimum wage across America. livingwageforall.org

Living Wage For All — One Job Should Be Enough

17 years at $7.25. Meanwhile- rent, groceries, healthcare, & the cost of living have soared. The time for prioritizing billionaires & corporate handouts must end. Workers want what they deserve. Workers want what they have earned. It's beyond time to guarantee the minimum wage is #OneFairWage

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 24(source)

Black Maternal Mental Health Week was founded by Kay Matthews after her experience with undiagnosed postpartum depression. Her story demands action, not just awareness. Congress must pass the #Momnibus to confront the maternal health crisis and ensure every mother gets the support she deserves.

"The Momnibus is the solution to our maternal health crisis," with an illustration of a person holding a baby and the U.S. Capitol building.

Five votes. Same answer. END THE WAR WITH IRAN Americans don't want another reckless, illegal war fought in their name—or paid for with their money. The costs to American troops, innocent civilians, and your wallet is real. The American people have made it clear: No more endless wars.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 22(source)

We must fight for equal pay, expand opportunity, and build an economy where every worker—regardless of race or gender—is valued and paid fairly for their contributions. Close the Gap. Cut the Check.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 22(source)

The consequences are real: Black women hold far less wealth than white men — money that could mean more stability, opportunity, and security for families. This is not a matter of choices or chance. It is the result of longstanding, systemic inequities that require action.

Graphic showing that the wage gap costs Black women $25K annually, and they hold 90% less wealth than white men.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 22(source)

Because of the wage gap, Black women must work months longer to earn the same pay.

Graphic shows Black women earn 65 cents for every $1 paid to white men, illustrating the wage gap.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 22(source)

Black women’s work has always been essential. Their pay should reflect it. Black Women Equal Pay Day marks the day when Black women have finally caught up to what white men earned the year before.

I voted "NO" on House Republicans' political ploy to shield themselves from the consequences of their own agenda. Instead of doing the work of governing, they're delaying appropriations to hide devastating cuts to programs families rely on. That's not leadership—it's deception.

House passes short-term bill to punt government funding fight past midterm elections

The continuing resolution would fund the federal government until Dec. 4. It now heads to the Senate, where it could face obstacles.

Today, we celebrate the joy and the transformative power of sports. Let's come together and focus on what we CAN do, not what we can't. #DisabilityPrideMonth

pictures from modern Special Olympics strung over a box with the words "Over the past 58 years, the Special Olympics has grown from a Chicago-born event into a worldwide movement serving millions of athletes across more than 170 countries. Through sports, health programs, leadership opportunities, and Unified Sports, Special Olympics continues to break down barriers and create communities where people of all abilities are valued and included. Chicago remains proud to be the birthplace of this movement and its lasting legacy of inclusion."

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 21(source)

For 58 years, the Special Olympics has shown the world that true champions are defined by resilience, inclusion, and the courage to give their best.

photos from the Special Olympics in black and white hung over a box with the words, "The Special Olympics began with the vision of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, who believed that people with intellectual disabilities deserved opportunities to compete, grow, and be celebrated. That vision became a reality on July 20, 1968, when the first International Special Olympics Games were held at Soldier Field in Chicago. Nearly 1,000 athletes gathered for the historic event, launching a global movement centered on inclusion, respect, and opportunity."

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govJul 21(source)

On this day in 1968, the first-ever Special Olympics International Games took place at Chicago's Soldier Field, launching a global movement.

Happy 58th Anniversary to the Special Olympics! superimposed on a scene from Soldier Field with athletes sitting in the foreground
