<h2>How to handle donations on your website</h2>Run does not process donations directly on our platform, as is standard with most political and advocacy sites.Campaigns are often required to comply with reporting requirements, donation limits, and other regulations, so using a donation processor that specializes in serving campaigns is generally a good idea. Sign up with a donation processor and then on your Pages sidebar, click the Link icon on the Donate page and add the link to your donation page.

<h3>I've been watching our quality of life decline for too long.</h3>I'm tired of hearing that our representatives are working for us, when it is clear they work for themselves. Our government is being bought by billionaires and Congress is letting them. The middle class is being eliminated and any progress we have made towards equality in the past is quickly fading away.Our representatives are elected to serve us and listen to us. We need new leadership who will fight for what is right. This fascist regime must be stopped from taking complete control of our country.I have been a member of the working class for my whole life. Working in restaurants and retail I have met countless excellent hard-working people from all over the world. Being uninsured for the entire time I worked in restaurants took a toll on me but it gave me a unique perspective of the world and the people in it. I decided to leave the culinary field to go back to school and get my BA in Paralegal Studies. While in school I did an internship with a company that helped people find representation when facing eviction and pointed them to renter's rights laws. I am very passionate about worker's rights as well, advocating for union representation in various workplaces. I spend my time away from work with my two dogs, Layla &amp; Tracey. Or you can find me catching a movie at the Siskel or Music Box.Every part of our government is turned against us. We were raised to believe that we would have a future. And our future is being ripped away from us through debilitating laws, unfair labor practices, ever-increasing housing costs, and financial instability. We need a representative that listen to their constituents and put their needs first.

Fighting for What's Right

Repair Our International Relations

<h3>Fighting for You</h3>The working class is in trouble and it is only getting worse. I am running because I am tired of hearing our representatives say they work for the people, when it is clear that they are working for their wallets. Corporations and billionaires are controlling our government, destroying our way of life. I will not stand for it any longer.

It is too late for us to have a goal of 2050 for net-zero emissions. It needs to be accomplished as soon as possible, like now. We need to rejoin the Paris Climate Accords and push the world to go further.I will push for legislation to fund infrastructure throughout the country. Focusing on local level green infrastructure plans. Communities that embrace changing their landscape to be more in tune with the Earth should be rewarded for doing so. Even something as simple as planting native species of wildflowers in parks can help. Any construction projects to repair roads or sidewalks can easily be altered to use permeable material. There's a lot of steps we can take to make a lasting global change so our children have a future to live in.

We're in serious shit. Our global impact needs to be addressed immediately.

Climate Change

The Trump Administration is dismantling our education system. They are trying to make Americans uneducated and hide the past so they can repeat it. Our taxpayer dollars are going to pay for the billionaire's children to go to private schools so they can learn prejudice and malice toward the disenfranchised. We need to start kids on the path to knowledge and discovery Pre-K. Funding programs that support parents to take part in their education. Programs need to be created to expose children to career paths they can explore. Student parents need access to transportation and childcare to allow them to focus on their education.Student debt needs to be completely erased. An entire generation of people have a crippling amount of student debt that they will never be able to pay. This needs to be eliminated so they can invest in their future. At the same time, public colleges &amp; trade schools need to be free or low cost. This would create wealth in our economy and prevent another generation from being saddled with debt.

Children are our most precious resource. Their education should be a top priority.

Americans are burdened with over $220 billion in medical debt. This needs to be erased. This alone would relieve so much stress and financial strain on the Working Class. It would also immediately stimulate the economy. Everyone has the right to healthcare and freeing them from crippling debt is the first step in creating a Medicare for All Program.The medical/insurance industry is in complete control of our government. The costs keep rising with no concern for our actual well-being. There are barely any members of Congress that are willing to stop them, since they're getting kickbacks to keep them in power. It's absolutely disgusting that these spineless cowards have sold us out to get rich.I will work tirelessly to enact single-payer healthcare that will cover ALL types of medical coverage. We all have the right to healthcare, all of us. It should not be limited to the wealthy.

Our healthcare system is broken. Completely. It's time to fix it.

Healthcare

The LGBTQ+ Community has been treated terribly for far too long. Every chance they've had to get closer to equal rights, the Republicans &amp; the religious right have stood in their way. Their attempt to divide the Community by singling out the trans members is terrible and it's working.Trump, the Republicans, and even some Democrats are allowing trans members to be left behind like they have been since the 1970s when they were told to stand in the back. We need to all stand with them and ensure everyone in the LGBTQ+ Community gains equal rights and access to healthcare.I will be pushing hard for the Equality Act to be passed. In order to protect the rights of everyone. We need federal laws in place to stop states from taking away people's access to healthcare. Furthermore, I will reach out to the LGBTQ+ community to develop a plan that addresses their needs and rights.

Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity.

LGBTQ+ Rights

The Working Class is the strongest and largest group in the whole world. Yet, we are used and manipulated by the ultra-wealthy. Trump has abused laborers for decades. Refusing to pay contractors, suggesting strikers should be fired, and making it near impossible for employees to form a Union. I will fight to get laws in place to protect unions and the American worker.Trump has already done so much damage to the Working Class. Rolling back safety regulations along with our ability to be covered if a workplace injury takes place. He has appointed judges that are incredibly incompetent and will bend to his will, making it impossible for any of us to get a fair trial. He is currently trying to do the same to the Federal Reserve by appointing Wall Street fat cats who will help him steal money from our social security and investments. The appointments &amp; attempted appointments to the Nat'l Labor Relations Board and the Dept of Labor are anti-worker puppets that have fallen in line to take away our rights, like paid sick leave and raising the minimum wage.The minimum wage should be $25/hr in major cities and $15/hr nationwide. For any of us who work, maintain a family, and exist in this society to earn poverty level wages is inexcusable. The Working Class contributes more financially to the United States than The Owning Class yet we are treated like we are less. Minimum wage increase nationwide will be something I will fight for tooth-and-nail. We deserve to do more than just survive.

Defense spending is too high while our people struggle everyday to even afford groceries.

Worker's Rights

This aggressive and racist approach towards immigrants needs to be stopped immediately. We are a nation of immigrants, we were founded as a sanctuary for people who are persecuted for their beliefs or their mere existence. For people to come to this country and be treated like shit is egregious.Update the incredibly outdated Immigration and Nationality Act. This hasn't been updated since 1986. When it is updated to include Dreamers, essential workers, forcibly displaced citizens, the children of long term visa holders, and people that have waiting years for a green card, it would allow 8 million people to quickly and legally go through the immigration process. Sen. Padilla (D-CA) introduced a bill to do this, but of course, it will go nowhere because the Republicans do not care about immigrants or their families.Drastically reduce funding to ICE and change it's focus. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is run like it is a secret police force. With violent and expensive tactics that break up families and ruin lives. It has reached a point where they are taking anyone they want and sending them away, that is beyond vile and needs to be stopped right now. Besides the human rights violations, ICE also costs us an immense amount of money for a redundant agency.

We are a nation built and supported by immigrants. We are not a country of closed borders.

Write a short blurb about an issue your campaign is highlighting. Try to keep the text a similar size between the various issue blurbs.

Immigration

The United States has become a joke to the rest of the world. The Republicans are destroying our relationships with are allies. We need to repair these relationships and find a way to show the world that we can be consistent with our policy. That we aren't on the brink of electing a sociopathic dictator every four years.We need to support Ukraine fully. The most recent peace talk deals that would cede Crimea to Russia and bar them from joining NATO are an outrage. Whatever dirt that Putin has on Trump is effecting the global landscape, we need to operate around this. We need to take back Congress with progressives that will stop everything Trump is trying to accomplish on the World stage.The United States has spent decades using our tax dollars to start wars in countries for their own financial benefit. From 2020-2024, $771 billion of the Pentagon's budget went to just FIVE companies, while only $356 billion went to the humanitarian aid budget. We also have agreed to send Israel $3.8 billion per year through 2028, even though we are not allowed to provide assistance to countries that commit human rights violations.Israel is committing genocide on the Palestinian people and we have the ability to stop it. We need to recognize the State of Palestine and help to rebuild Gaza. In order to begin the process of establishing peace between Israel and Palestine, Netanyahu needs to be removed from power. He is overseeing the murder of thousands of civilians, including children and his actions are creating Antisemitism and Islamophobia. Our world has been brought so close together due to rapidly progressing technologies. We need to work together to obtain a lasting peace.

The United States has become an embarrassment because of Donald Trump. We need to restore our standing by gaining some humanity.

Foreign Policy

Our veterans have served our country and deserve to be treated with gratitude and respect. There are far too many veterans that come home to be told they're on their own. They deserve to have comprehensive healthcare and benefits. Even before Trump took office Veteran benefits we awful. We need to support our troops with more than words.

We say support our troops but we don't practice it.

Veterans

The United States has abused &amp; manipulated Black people for hundreds of years. Although slavery was abolished, there came the Black Codes and then Jim Crow Laws. All of this led to them not being able to own land or get better jobs, keeping them from creating generational wealth. It is time for Black Americans to receive reparations to start closing the wealth disparity.There is still mass segregation in cities like Chicago, neighborhoods that are largely Black do not receive the funding needed to improve schools and roads. Neighborhoods that the 7th District can join together in rebuilding by supporting Black business owners who will then be able to afford to buy homes; creating economic growth for all of us. For too long there has been a negative connotation to the Black Power movement. Black Power is a movement that we all need to support. When there are members of our community being mistreated we need to join them and make their voices louder. We are all in this together, there is NO REASON for us to be divided by race.We are the working class. The ultra-wealthy watch us divide ourselves among race, religion, gender, and income levels. The fact of the matter is that we are all the same, we work for them. There are many more of us than there are of them, this is our narrative to control.

The Trump Administration is trying to dismantle what has taken 100+ years to build. Remember our past or we're doomed to repeat it.
