We are going to get through the coronavirus outbreak together. If you are experiencing symptoms or are looking for more information, you can visit the website of the CDC or the Illinois Department of Health. We are closely monitoring the situation and its effects on the people of Illinois and our nation as we work together to keep our families and communities safe.

 

John,

This May Day, or International Workers’ Day, we celebrate the hard-won achievements of the labor movement and the vital role of unions in this country. Today, we stand in solidarity with the men and women of the labor movement past and present.

During this crisis, essential workers are putting their health and safety on the line to provide us with the goods and services we need to make it through. Now, we must show frontline workers that we have their back by ensuring that they have PPE, COVID testing, paid sick leave, and the right to organize for safe working conditions.

I will be hosting a May Day Digital Press Conference today to address COVID disparities in our communities - and how we fix them. You can follow along on our Facebook page.

Happy May Day,

Chuy Garcia
