Ramadan Mubarak to all those celebrating! Ramadan is a time of self-reflection and fasting from sunrise to sunset. This month-long observance focuses on spiritual growth, charity, and community. May this sacred month bring peace and clarity.

On February 25, 2025, the Trump administration announced a new policy requiring all immigrants to register with the federal government. Advancing Justice | Chicago vehemently opposes this racist registry, which will criminalize millions of people and tear families apart.

The SAVE Act (HB 22) is a Trump-backed bill that would destroy voter registration for 21 million people! This move makes voter registration harder for everyone and is an attack on our democracy. We need to call our representatives ASAP and urge them not only to vote NO!
