A growing number of HBCUs are on lockdown due to targeted threats. These hate crimes are unacceptable. I stand with the students, faculty, and communities affected, and call on DOJ and FBI to act swiftly. Our country needs leadership that unites, not divides.

With over $82M in trade between our nations last year, these policies could have a major impact on Gambia’s economy. I look forward to continuing our dialogue and exploring ways to strengthen cooperation between our countries.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govSep 11(source)

This week I had the pleasure of meeting with Gambian Ambassador Momodou Lamin Bah to discuss key issues affecting Gambia, including new U.S. tariffs, visa restrictions, and foreign aid cuts.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govSep 10(source)

Political violence has no place in America. The attack on Charlie Kirk is shocking and unacceptable, and I condemn it without hesitation. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones as we work to end the rise of hate and division in our country.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govSep 9(source)

American troops should never be deployed against American citizens.

Congressman Jackson Condemns The President’s ‘Declaration of War’ on Chicago, Calls For Action on Gun Trafficking

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govSep 5(source)

The August jobs report is a disaster with only 22,000 jobs added, unemployment rising, and the slowest growth since 2020. Under Trump, there are more job seekers than open positions. His reckless policies are destroying jobs, driving up prices, and punishing working Americans.

The U.S. job market showed more signs of weakness Friday, as the Labor Department reported just 22,000 jobs added last month. Revised figures show the economy lost jobs in June, and the unemployment rate inched up to 4.3%.

If you were more upset about the #CrackerBarrel #Logo change than you are about accusations of #RacialDiscrimination then you are part of the problem

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govSep 3(source)

Trump has alienated our allies and united our adversaries. As the Legion of Doom gathers in #China under #XiJinping, America is more isolated than at any time since WWI. Yet instead of standing up to China Russia & North Korea he threatens to occupy Chicago #RedCarpetForPutin x.com/Reuters/stat...

I proudly joined @repdeliaramirez, @RepChuyGarcia, @CongressmanRaja, and many of my colleagues in standing up to @POTUS. The Constitution is clear...our streets are not battlegrounds. As Franklin warned: those who trade freedom for security deserve neither! #NoTroopsOnOurStreets

Congratulations to @nadler.house.gov on his retirement after more than 32 years. From leading historic impeachment efforts to championing voting rights, women’s equality, your impact will be felt for generations. Thank you for your unwavering commitment to justice and democracy

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govSep 1(source)

Today, we stand in solidarity with those still fighting for fair wages, safe workplaces, and the fundamental right to organize. Let us honor the legacy of those who came before us by continuing the fight for justice for all.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govSep 1(source)

In August, more than 445,000 federal employees lost their union protections as agencies complied with a Trump executive order gutting collective bargaining rights for nearly one million workers.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govSep 1(source)

This Labor Day, we celebrate the tireless work and invaluable contributions of the American people who built this nation. As we honor their achievements, we are reminded that the fight for workers’ rights is far from over.

Congressman Jonathan L. Jackson (D-IL 01)@jonathanjackson.house.govAug 28(source)

Today marks 62 years since the March on Washington, where people from across the country gathered to demand civil and economic rights for Black Americans. While progress has been made, systemic inequality and voter suppression persist, and our fight for justice continues.
