Legislative Update, by Riall Johnson Tabor 100 Government Affairs Chair
While high-profile legislative accomplishments received a majority of media attention this year, the less visible but important day-to-day operations of the Illinois Senate are sometimes missed. Senators spend time meeting with school students, advocacy groups and constituents every day hearing their concerns and talking about possible solutions. Senate committees take testimony from experts on legislation for consideration. Advocacy days for schools, parks and many other issues bring thousands of visitors to the Capitol throughout the year.
View the Senate beyond the high profile media coverage and take a look at how your state senators worked in Springfield and in your district in 2017.
Sen. Don Harmon and Rep. Camille Lilly held a town hall meeting in Oak Park to share information and answer questions on the Senate’s budget plan and the status of budget negotiations in Springfield.
The following slides walk through where the state of Illinois gets its funding, where that funding goes, the true pressures facing the state budget and the devastating trajectory of the backlog of unpaid bills.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

numbers are off the
windshield before
you drive away.
HB733
Sen. Cristina Castro
6. Gift of Life
Hundreds of Illinoisans are

Sen. Linda Holmes
14. No stars? No problem.
Great food. Terrible
