Name: Today we are six weeks out from Election Day! In just six weeks, the voters of Illinois’ 11th District will get the chance to go out to the polls and vote for who they want to represent them.
To mark the occasion, we wanted to tell you the six major differences between Qasim and Bill Foster.
- Qasim supports a ceasefire in Gaza (as do 80% of Democrats). Bill Foster does not.
- Qasim takes the climate crisis seriously, and will increase taxes on oil companies’ profits, among other things. Bill Foster – despite being a scientist – is funded by Big Oil and supports fracking.
- Qasim supports establishing universal healthcare. Bill Foster voted to weaken the Affordable Care Act – twice.
- Qasim is a civil rights lawyer who has spent his career fighting to expand human rights and defend survivors of domestic and sexual violence. Bill Foster co-sponsored a bill to weaken the Americans with Disabilities Act.
- Qasim supports addiction treatment over punishment and wants to hold Big Pharma executives accountable for the opioid crisis. Bill Foster takes money from the enablers of the opioid crisis including Walgreens and Pfizer.
- Qasim supports a $17 minimum wage, mandated paid leave, and protecting workers’ rights. Bill Foster voted with Republicans in support of Trump’s banking deregulation bill.
Can you make a contribution to support Qasim’s commonsense, people–first policies?
