A year ago we launched this campaign to get our representative @RepMikeQuigley to stop taking $$ from weapons companies.
Yesterday, for the first time, we talked to Quigley directly. It was made clear he was purposely ignoring us & he admitted he was bought. THREAD

For those of you with ADHD and suffer from procrastination because things seem overwhelming, I want to assure you that the student loan debt relief application is very simple. You need your name, DOB, SSN, phone number and email. That’s basically it. Takes you a minute at most.

Well, it’s official folks. We’ve been outside @QuigleyCampaign’s office for an entire month. He hasn’t responded to our first demand, to sign the pledge to refuse $ from war profiteers.
We did win our second demand just this week, He cosponsored the WPR for Yemen.

Finally congress is acting on carrying out a promise Biden made but couldn’t keep: ending US involvement in the war on Yemen.
Call your reps now, tell them you want them to pass HJRES87, a War Powers Resolution for Yemen.
BREAKING: A bipartisan group of nearly 50 members of Congress just introduced legislation to invoke constitutional war powers to end unauthorized United States military involvement in Saudi Arabia’s brutal war in Yemen.

part of resisting war is resisting the war economy. i’m organizing this with my neighbors in @RepMikeQuigley’s district as he continues to take campaign contributions from companies that profit off of conflict. can other folks in chicago join us? (@Blacks4Peace, @CapaDepaul)

When people discuss who is winning the war in Yemen, the answer will never be the Houthis, Saudi Arabia, or the UAE. Weapons companies funded by the U.S. taxpayer through Pentagon contracts are who’s winning the war.

Hey IL-5 neighbors! Our wonderful Rep Mike Quigley got about 30 voicemails last night asking him to stop taking campaign contributions from the companies that make a killing on killing. Wanna help us give him a ring?
