Happy Pride Month John!
I am very happy to celebrate the diversity and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community this June, especially in a city like Chicago. Illinois has long been a sanctuary state, including for our friends in the LGBTQ+ community.
Celebrating LGBTQ+ pride is about ensuring everyone enjoys the same rights in our country, regardless of who they love. That’s why, in May 2019, I voted in the House to pass the Equality Act and have made great efforts to continue bringing justice and equality to all.

This Pride Month, I hope we're reminded that Illinois must remain a model of progress at a time when many states are moving backwards in their support for equality.
But our work is far from over. The rights we have fought so hard for transgare under attack in many parts of the country.
From my seat in Congress, I will continue championing reforms to stop the discrimination that sadly is still present in housing, the healthcare system, and many other areas against LGBTQ+ people.
But I can’t do this alone. I need your support to keep pushing forward.
John, will you stand with me as I advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive freedoms, and a more inclusive Illinois with a donation today?

As a progressive community leader and public servant for almost 40 years, Chuy has been recognized for his extensive work fighting for immigration rights, universal health care, criminal justice reform, and workers’ rights.
In 2015, Chuy emerged as a national leader when he challenged Mayor Rahm Emmanuel and became the first candidate in Chicago history to push an incumbent mayor into a runoff election. Chuy received an outpouring of local and national support and helped reawaken the independent progressive movement in Chicago.
