Kristi Noem made an appearance in Chicago today β€” & hundreds of Chicagoans spoke out against her harmful policies toward immigrant communities.

Did you know she led an ICE raid earlier this year in Elgin, where a U.S. citizen was detained? Chicagoans aren’t forgetting β€” & they’re demanding better.

Billions of our taxpayer dollars are going to fund these attacks on immigrants. In Congress I'll make sure we use those funds for things working people need:

βœ… Lower costs
βœ… Affordable health care
βœ… Better funding for our schools

Anabel Mendoza on Chicagoans Fighting Back Against Trump Spotify video

I joined @meidastouch.com to discuss how Chicago has come together to protect immigrants. Trump's raids have separated families and hurt our local economy.

Small businesses have less customers, workers are afraid to show up to work sites.

I'm running for Congress to stand up for working families.

Standing with our immigrant neighbors has never been more important.

Join me, alongside Chicago community leaders, for an urgent town hall and panel discussion on building progressive power in Congress to protect our communities from the Trump administration’s hostile takeover.

This week, Anabel’s campaign hit the streets and the neighborhoods that make our district home. From knocking doors to packing supplies, every conversation and every act of service reminded us why this campaign matters. People.

AIPAC Donors Back Real Estate Tycoon Who Opposed Gaza Ceasefire for Deep-Blue Chicago Seat Jason Friedman opposed a local Gaza ceasefire resolution in Chicago. Now pro-Israel donors are funding his campaign.

I’m fighting for everyday people β€” which is why I pledged not to take a single penny from AIPAC or corporate PACS.

Chicago’s South and West sides deserve someone fighting for them: funding for our schools, good paying jobs, health care for all.

As your candidate for IL-07, I’m calling for:
βœ”οΈ Stronger protections for homeowners
βœ”οΈ Investments that keep families in their homes
βœ”οΈ Federal oversight so Chicagoans are not priced out of their neighborhoods

This is a call to every Chicagoan who knows our city deserves better than fear, raids, and political neglect. Working people are rising. Neighborhoods are organizing. The movement that shocked New York (@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social) is growing here at home. Chicago is ready for the next generation.

Anabel Mendoza: Trump’s War Is Already on Our Streets β€” We’re Building Power to Stop It. We can’t wait for justice to come to us. It’s time to claim it together.

"Winning is contagious. And if you’re like me, you’re done with politicians who’ve grown far too comfortable with losing. We don’t have the luxury to lose right now," writes @anabelforcongress.bsky.social, the 27-year-old running to serve Illinois’ 7th Congressional District.

Today, the Cook County Latino Democrats endorsed Anabel Mendoza for Congress in IL-07!

Earlier this month, Anabel shared her vision to lower health care costs, strengthen public schools, and protect our immigrant communities.

β€œTrump’s war has never just been a threat; it’s a strategy to quell the rising power of working people. Little does he know, Chicago fights back," shared Anabel Mendoza in her latest op-ed.

Chicago doesn’t need more party loyalists protecting their own careers and wallets. If I had been in Congress today, I would have voted β€˜hell no’ on this betrayal bill and held the line until a real solution was reached that puts working families first.

Congress just rubber-stamped legislation that ignores every one of those realities. The Senate Democrats, including Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinoisβ€”who paved the way for this billβ€”should be ashamed of themselves for giving up any leverage they had and cowering to Trump’s playbook.

Last night’s vote represents a profound failure of leadership. People across Chicago are struggling. Families are rationing medications, seniors are losing critical support, and communities are left wondering whether anyone in D.C. is actually fighting for them.

Everything is way too expensive. Inequality keeps widening. Our communities have been underfunded for decades. Anabel Mendoza is running for Congress to make sure our schools, neighborhoods, and families are cared for.

Zohran’s historic victory in New York City is proof that people power can and will beat big money. Our communities are done with a status quo that has never worked for us, and with leaders disconnected from our everyday realities.

From New York to Chicago, we’re done with politics that don’t work for us. We’re choosing leaders from our own communities.

This is people power. Period.

Access to healthy, affordable food is a human right. Nearly a quarter of families in the 7th district rely on SNAP. I'm running for Congress to protect our fundamental rights and make sure no family in our city, district, or country ever goes to bed hungry.
