It’s incumbent upon us all to speak up and refuse to be silent as antisemitism is on the rise.

On —Holocaust Remembrance Day—let’s pause, reflect and remember the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust, the survivors and their ancestors. May we we never forget.

I had a blast at the Annual Senate v. House Softball Game and was honored (and a bit nervous!) to throw out the first pitch! 🥎

So much fun and I really enjoyed the camaraderie with our partners in the General Assembly!

Today marks a change in command.

Thank you for your dedicated service Major General Rich Neely.

And congratulations to another incredible leader, Major General Rodney Boyd, who makes history as the first Black officer and person of color to command the Illinois National Guard.

The Dana-Thomas House in Springfield was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Did you know in 1909 Susan Lawrence Dana and Jane Addams convened 100 suffragists in this very room—including Ida B. Wells—who headed to the Illinois State Capitol to advocate for women’s equality? Legacy!

To live in service of others is to know true selflessness.

Today we gathered for the Illinois Police Officer's Memorial honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

In the same way these officers protected us, their families are now charged with protecting their memory.

All are necessary for successful reentry post incarceration. I was honored to convene leaders across our state, many who are also system impacted, who are helping Illinoisans rebuild their lives and reconnect to community.

💰 Women-owned businesses are fueling the economy. Not only are they outpacing the number of businesses owned by men, but they also provide nearly 10 million jobs nationally.

When women thrive, we all thrive!

We can thank generations of workers who have fought for equitable working conditions for Illinois' legacy in the labor movement.

From raising the minimum wage to Paid Leave for All, Illinois will always stand for and protect workers' rights.

Representation matters and Illinois is the first state to recognize the racial classification of Middle Eastern or North African for state data collection purposes.

As we close out we reaffirm that in Illinois, our diversity is our strength.
