JB has worked relentlessly to resist Donald Trump every day since the election, going to O’Hare to protest Trump’s travel ban, running an advertising campaign to defend the Affordable Act after funding was slashed, and protesting with Congressman Gutierrez at Trump Tower. As governor, JB will continue to resist by making Illinois a firewall against Donald Trump’s hateful, bigoted agenda. He will protect healthcare for Illinois families, invest in public education, defend our environment, stand with immigrant families, and fight for civil rights for all Illinoisans. The values JB cares about are under siege by Donald Trump and Bruce Rauner is silent. As governor, JB has a real plan to stand with communities across Illinois in resistance.

REALITY CHECK:

• JB will stand against Donald Trump’s attempts to strip healthcare from Illinois families and expand quality, affordable healthcare to every Illinois resident with his plan, IllinoisCares.
• JB will invest in a comprehensive public education system that gives every student a quality education, no matter their zip code.
• JB will protect our environment from Donald Trump’s attacks by entering Illinois into the US Climate Alliance.
• JB will resist Donald Trump’s divisive attacks against immigrant communities and make Illinois a welcoming state by implementing the TRUST Act and fighting for DACA.
• JB will bring Illinois’ diverse communities together to stand firm against hate and ensure all Illinoisans have a voice in their government.
