La Shawn K. Ford is ready to fight in Congress to make sure no family in the 7th Congressional District — or anywhere in Illinois — is left behind.When Washington shuts down, Illinois steps up — but we can’t build permanent solutions on temporary fixes. This week, Gov. Pritzker took action to protect SNAP and food access for families across Illinois — investing $20 million in food banks statewide. But 1.9 million people shouldn’t have to rely on emergency orders just to eat.“This is more than a temporary patch,” Ford says. “For the thousands of families in the 7th Congressional District, this is about dignity, stability, and fairness. In Washington, I will fight to fully fund SNAP, protect Medicaid, and make sure our communities are not left behind while budgets are written.”DONATE TODAY!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Independence Day for Returning Citizens event. This day was centered around hope, restoration, and second chances. Although Congressman Danny K. Davis couldn’t be in attendance, we appreciate his ongoing work in Washington, D.C., fighting for a better America. Grateful for our keynote speaker Benny Lee, spoken word artist Orion Meadows, and every voice that stood in unity to end permanent punishment. Let’s keep pushing for change, together. 💪🏾❤️ #EndPermanentPunishment #TogetherForChange #ReturningCitizens #CommunityAction” by @lkffdr
