When I visited @DownersGroveSouth, @HenryThiele talked me through how @DownersSouth is adapting to get students back into the classroom safely and how federal relief will help fund everything from improvements to physical infrastructure to additional nursing, and contact tracing. https://t.co/WoULQfNwrl

Since 1994, the Violence Against Women Act has been a lifeline to the 1 in 3 women in the U.S. who experience domestic violence, 1 in 5 who are raped, and one in six who are victims of stalking. But it needs to be updated and renewed, and that’s exactly what we did today. https://t.co/T0358sTzF7
