Last week Chicago made a big step forward in housing justice when the Just Cause for Eviction Ordinance was introduced in City Council! We have been organizing for this ordinance alongside our allies in the Chicago Housing Justice Coalition-- shout out to them and to all our leaders who have been fighting for this! And thanks to our North Side alderwoman Angela Clay for coming out to speak in support. Check out this Block Club Chicago article about the ordinance, featuring an interview with our Housing Justice leader Karen Foster! (fb)

TODAY is the last day the Democratic Caucus will be negotiating the state budget. The momentum that we've been building this year on taxing billionaires and mega-corporations is working and we need to keep the pressure up today! The Illinois Revenue Alliance is hosting a phone bank today ahead of the end of budget negotiations. Join us via Zoom to be connected via a patch-through process to the district offices of targeted legislators. TODAY from 1-4pm.
