Doing the Work

United Northwest Side members put in over 100 hours of campaign support work for our endorsed candidates this election cycle and we are proud to have worked toward important progressive primary victories - like those of Delia Ramirez (US Congress, 3rd District), Anthony Joel Quezada (8th District Cook County Commissioner), and Cristina Pacione-Zayas (Illinios Senate, 20th District). Northwest Side voters overwhelmingly chose candidates who have fought for and defended progressive values, from reproductive rights to environmental justice to affordable healthcare and more.

Additionally, we are grateful for the good work of our endorsed candidates Chakena Perry (MWRD 2-yr seat) and Michael Rabbit (Ilinois House, 15th District) for their strong, progressive campaigns, both of which were nearly successful. Michael mounted the strongest challenge yet to the local Laurino/D'Amico machine! This was due in large part to his unapologetically progressive campaign and his long track record of putting in the work to make our neighborhoods more equitable and inclusive.

Finally, we're extremely grateful to our many coalition partners who joined us in our work this election cycle, including ally IPOs like 39th Ward Neighbors United, 33rd Ward Working Families, and United Neighbors of the 35th Ward. Have no doubt that we'll be here doing this same work in the next election - supporting our coalition partners, knocking doors, making phone calls, spreading the word, and showing up to build the community we all deserve.
