Chicago, IL — Today, JB Pritzker continued his “Damage is Done” tour with a visit to the Hamdard Center for Health and Human Services. JB highlighted Bruce Rauner’s 736-day manufactured budget crisis, the ways in which social service agencies and Illinois families continue to suffer, and the years of work ahead to clean up Rauner’s mess.

The Hamdard Center for Health and Human Services is a non-profit agency that provides critical support to victims of domestic violence and their families. They focus on underserved South Asian and Middle Eastern communities, providing comprehensive services to families.

“For 25 years, the committed staff at the Hamdard Center for Health and Human Services has worked tirelessly to provide critical services to Illinois families,” said JB Pritzker. “From women’s health care, to vital counseling to domestic violence victims, and substance abuse treatment programs, this organization does so much to support our community. But under Bruce Rauner’s failed leadership, they aren’t receiving much needed support and stability from their state government. Illinois families deserve a leader in Springfield who stands with organizations like the Hamdard Center and ensures our vulnerable communities have access to the services they need to thrive. Bruce Rauner has failed to be that leader for Illinois and it’s clear the damage is done.”
