Senator Mike Simmons

Join me this Thursday, June 25 from 5-6:30 p.m. for a Mobile Town Hall at Is/Was Brewing, 5121 N. Ravenswood!

Come to chat and enjoy a beverage with Senator Simmons about the end of spring session, including passing a ban on rental junk fees, progressive revenue wins, education funding, fighting for housing, LGBTQ+ protections, and more! We will be sharing important updates and help with SNAP/Medicaid benefits as well. RSVP at bit.ly/SummerUpdatesTownHall or with my link in bio.

In 2021, the State of Illinois passed House Bill 3922, which created Juneteenth National Freedom Day on June 19. Days like today are a stunning showcase of the connection our community has to one another and our roots. This Juneteenth we celebrate the agency of our African-American ancestors, who fought long before the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, to secure their own freedom from centuries of oppression that still shapes our country today. Across the nation our people are celebrating this day as a holiday and that is a beautiful thing!
