Born in Chicago to Pakistani immigrant parents and raised in Skokie, Bushra Amiwala is a trailblazing public servant, bridge-builder, and bold voice for underrepresented communities.
Back to School Season is an exciting time for many reasons, including: new beginnings and new school supplies βοΈ
I had an amazing time volunteering with ICNA Relief again this year, for their annual backpack drive, where we provided backpacks for 600+ families!
I had an amazing time connecting with families in Morton Grove at the MCC Fun Fair!
Itβs a gift to be able to reconnect with neighbors at these events
Bushra Amiwala was at the Northwestern encampment though (www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-ea...) and was speaking out as an MBA student. That makes her the most outspoken pro-Palestine person running in my reckoning.

Spent the day knocking on doors in the 40th Ward to learn why people vote in the general election, but not primaries.
Building political power starts with civic power.
Bushra volunteering at a carnival
I genuinely had so much fun volunteering in Lake County at their annual Alpine Fest Carnival!
Great to see Lake County Treasurer Holly Kim and Esiah Campos on the Lake County Board!

1. Gun violence is a public health crisis.
2. The trump administration is making it easier for people to have access to guns
3. Guns are the #1 cause of death among children and teens
We had a dozen people from all across IL-9 drop in and out of our coffee office hours!
We had a range of professions, ages, and backgrounds represented all who agreed: we need our government to reflect our voices, vision and values π€
