My name is Bushra Amiwala, and I am running for Congress in IL-9.

Government Shutdown leads to cuts in Cybersecurity. Is our security at risk?

If you live in Illinois-09, you've just got to meet Progressive Democratic Candidate for Congress Bushra Amiwala https://t.co/YwWbqEkxsk. She's a strong supporter of Tuition-Free college, Universal Healthcare, Living Wages, & so much more. Let's help her win! #DemVoice1

Momentum is building. Proud to have earned the support of youth leaders, faith communities, and local advocates across IL-09 — all united by a shared belief in service, inclusion, and opportunity for all.

The story didn’t start in 1492. #IndigenousPeoplesDay

ICE’s violent arrest of Debbie Brockman, a WGN producer doing the invaluable work of local Chicago journalism, is a chilling reminder that Trump’s agenda targets all of us. We must end this invasion of Chicago to protect our neighbors, our free speech, and our city.

As a future Member of Congress, my oath will be to the Constitution, not to hate or division. Freedom of religion is a pillar of our nation. As a proud American Muslim, I will defend, respect, and serve all Texans, of all faiths and backgrounds. Your hate has no place in

The recent ceasefire will hopefully bring relief to those enduring a genocide, and we hope it marks the beginning of lasting peace. Although I remain hopeful, a ceasefire is only the first step, and it is not enough. We must continue to demand a clear path to reparations for

Next stop on my college tour: 📍DePaul University 90% of DePaul students are commuter students who come from all over the state, including many of whom live in IL-9! Biggest topic that came up: the current job market

“Being ‘the first’ isn’t about being flawless or living up to comparisons. It’s about courage, the willingness to act even when the tide hasn’t caught up.” Thank you to @nur_Yalinbas for this beyond thoughtful piece in The Daily Northwestern; it is a very easy read. Read more

.@Sec_Noem – now that you are in Illinois, if you can take time away from your occupation of Chicago, your cosplay, and photo ops, let's meet. We need to talk about ICE's unlawful actions in my state.

"I've been speaking out against Trump since I was a teenager, and you'd best believe that I will continue to speak out against Donald Trump, even now and today."

I condemn ICE’s arrest of Alderperson Jessie Fuentes @jessiefor26th. Detaining a sitting elected official for questioning federal actions is an assault on democratic accountability and community rights.

No @DavidOrmsby, @Sec_Noem would never use the alleged open air toilets inside provided to detainees, and she’s conveniently ignoring the far more serious issues inside the facility anyways. Reports point to filthy, overcrowded holding areas where detainees are kept for days
