As a member of the House Agriculture Committee, Congressman Jackson reaffirmed his commitment to defending SNAP, combating food insecurity, and strengthening support for urban farming and community-based food systems that ensure access to healthy, affordable food.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govOct 4(source)

He spoke with staff and volunteers about the growing demand for food assistance and how the One Big Ugly Bill could threaten critical programs that help families put food on the table.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govOct 4(source)

Today, Congressman Jackson had the honor of visiting @fooddepository.bsky.social, where he saw firsthand the incredible work being done to fight hunger and support families across Illinois’ 1st district and beyond.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govOct 3(source)

I stand firmly with the people of Chicago and will continue to fight against this unjust action.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govOct 3(source)

These projects are vital for the economic development and connectivity of underserved neighborhoods on Chicago’s South Side. Delaying them disrupts years of planning and investment and harms residents who rely on improved transit options for employment, education, and daily life.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govOct 3(source)

This action, justified under the guise of concerns over “race-based contracting,” is part of a broader pattern targeting Democratic-led cities during the ongoing Republican-made government shutdown.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govOct 3(source)

The Trump administration’s decision to withhold $2.1 billion in federal infrastructure funding for Chicago is a politically motivated move that undermines the needs of our communities.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govOct 2(source)

Trump has suggested turning U.S. cities into military training grounds and expanded ICE crackdowns on immigrants across the country. Pope Leo is right, that isn’t pro-life.

Pope Leo criticized US President Trump's immigration policies, questioning their alignment with the Church's pro-life teachings, which has led to backlash from conservative Catholics reut.rs/48eoBeo

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govOct 2(source)

Remember when we warned you about #Project2025 and #DonaldTrump said he knew NOTHING about it? Well, now he is finally admitting that the #HeritageFoundation is essentially running the Federal Government. Everything that is happening and that will happen is already laid out

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govOct 1(source)

Your leadership as Africa’s most populous democracy inspires the world, and we honor the lasting connections that strengthen our shared heritage and promote unity across the African diaspora.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govOct 1(source)

Congratulations to Nigeria on your National Day of Independence! We celebrate your sovereignty, rich cultural heritage including Nollywood and Afrobeat, and the profound literary contributions of icons like Chinua Achebe and Wole Soyinka.

Government Shutdown FAQs

The information below reflects how federal agencies have responded to shutdowns in the past. The current administration may choose different protocols.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govOct 1(source)

Only Republicans can stop this shutdown — and they’re nowhere in D.C.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govSep 30(source)

@HouseDemocrats reflect America’s future: Diverse, Vibrant, and Committed to protecting #Healthcare for working families. MAGA Republicans reflect the waiting room of a retirement home. Won't let the party of the past, steal America's FUTURE! Stop the #TrumpShutdown

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govSep 30(source)

House Republicans can’t be bothered to show up for work. Instead, they’d rather #shutdown the government while families in #Chicago struggle to afford insulin, keep their kids on #Medicaid, and hold onto the #healthcare they’ve already paid for @housedemocrats.bsky.social are here and ready

Honored to have joined CBC week with @jonathanjackson.house.gov and foreign ministers of Colombia and South Africa. I spoke about my grandfather's fight alongside Gandhi for democracy & the connection with civil rights leaders whose work paved the way for my family and so many to come to the US.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govSep 26(source)

The #TrumpsGovernmentShutdown is a defining moment for our nation. While @HouseDemocrats are prepared to negotiate for the American people, the White House is holding the country hostage—demanding an end to #Healthcare for millions. We cannot let #Billionaires strip families of affordable care.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govSep 26(source)

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson joined @chriscuomo.bsky.social on @newsnation.bsky.social to discuss the Trump #DOJ’s indictment of former @FBI @jamescomey.bsky.social youtu.be/TFlUxow71Jk?...

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govSep 26(source)

Shameful. The political persecution of James Comey is a direct assault on the American tradition of an impartial justice system. We must resist every effort to turn the federal government into a machine for settling personal and political scores. This is a moment to stand for what is right.

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

This is an outrageous perversion of our civil rights laws. The DOJ is using "clean voter rolls" as a dog whistle for purging voters. This isn't about election integrity—it's a transparent plot to disenfranchise citizens and steal the 2026 election. We will not stand for it.
