Illinois Democrats are trying desperately to tie their opponents to ICE, including in one key state House race Illinois Democrats had been largely unified against President Donald Trump’s Chicago-area immigration enforcement crackdown. Now, the issue is being used as a political wedge in this spring’s Democ…

This is basically straight up lying to the voters by Jaime Andrade’s campaign, which is smearing his opponent by false accusing them of supporting ICE. Good campaign truth squadding by @olivia0.bsky.social

We are grateful to have been endorsed by the progressive gold standard Girl, I Guess Voter Guide!

“This is an election about fighters, about change, and about the future. That future is Miguel Alvelo-Rivera, and he’s endorsed for the 40th District.”

Meanwhile, we are running to stand up to data centers, protect our freshwater and the Great Lakes, and prevent AI companies from stealing our water and electricity and sticking us with the bill.

We deserve representation that’s sticking up for us—not polluters and the world’s largest companies.

In our latest episode of Dark Money News:

Our opponent, Jaime Andrade, is being supported by the Meta-funded, pro-AI Super PAC, “Making Our Tomorrow."

Video recap here!

I am proud to support a progressive champion like Miguel Alvelo-Rivera because he has been on the ground with me doing Rapid Response and organizing to protect our communities.

If we're going to tax the rich and stand up to fascism, I need another unapologetic colleague in the General Assembly.

The photo shows State Senator Graciela Guzman holding a sign that says Miguel Alvelo-Rivera for State Representative and Miguel Alvelo-Rivera holding a sign that says Graciela Guzman for State Senator.

You all know one of the busiest times of year is when we’re in session in Springfield, trying to get a budget that actually aligns with our values, as well as other bills that will continue to protect and support our communities.

The image features a yellow background with white bars of text and white text that says: OUR PLATFORM: Our key priorities for building worker power and advancing economic justice: Affordable Housing and Economic Security, Labor Protections, LGBTQIA Protections, Protecting Civil Liberties, Climate Resilience, Fully Resourced Public Schools, Healthcare and Safety for all (with more on the website!).

I am not doing this alone. In coalition, we can make lasting change for our communities.

The yellow-backed graphic says "Our endorsements" and it features photos and the names of the following people: Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez, State Senator Graciela Guzman, Alder Anthony Quezada, Alder Rossana Rodriguez Sanchez, and Commissioner Jessica Vasquez.

The image features the logos of the following groups with the red text "Our endorsements" on a yellow background with a teal border: Illinois Federation of Teachers, Girl, I Guess, Progressive Voter Guide, CTU, and Cook County College Teachers Union.

That vision has led our campaign to receive endorsements from CTU, Girl, I Guess, Congresswoman Delia Ramirez, State Senator Graciela Guzmán, Alderwoman Rossana Rodríguez Sánchez, Alderman Anthony Quezada, as well as organizations including Sierra Club and CCCTU.

The image features Miguel Alvelo-Rivera in a hat and long coat in front of a brick wall with white text overlayed on the screen that says NO CORPORATE DONORS. ❌

That means an unapologetic progressive vision: no corporate donors, and fighting hard for access to the things we all need and deserve, from quality healthcare to education to protection from fascism and its enablers.

We've also been pretty active on Instagram! www.instagram.com/p/DVAFuUjE5Il/

A large group of people stand outside of a flower-decorated storefront holding yellow signs that say Miguel Alvelo-Rivera for State Rep 40th District and purple Graciela Guzman for State Senate signs.

This led to my community asking me to run for this seat, to give the 40th statehouse district real, people-powered representation for the first time in decades, frankly.

When ICE came into Chicago to a much greater extent under this Trump administration, I worked to protect our neighbors from ICE through Rapid Response and corner watch.

The photo shows Miguel Alvelo-Rivera standing in front of a sign that says ICE OUT OF HOME DEPOT with other people also holding signs.

Hi there! We’re just starting out with Bluesky. My name is Miguel Alvelo-Rivera. I’ve been an organizer since I was 13, and have been leading a union that organizes with domestic workers and day laborers for the last five years.

I'm running for state rep in Illinois' 40th District!
