Congressman Danny K. Davis, Mayors Rory Hoskins and Nathaniel Booker, Former State Senator Rickey Hendon, and State Representative Camille Lilly Stand United Against Project 2025

Chicago, IL-Today, Congressman Danny K. Davis joined Mayors Rory Hoskins of Forest Park, Nathaniel Booker of Maywood, former "State Senator Rickey Hendon, and State Representative Camille Lilly for a powerful press conference denouncing Project 2025's dangerous implications. Standing together, the leaders warned about the devastating impact this extreme agenda could have on Illinois's 7th Congressional District and called for unified action to protect their communities.

Congressman Danny K. Davis:

"Project 2025 is an outright assault on the most vulnerable members of our district-low-income families, seniors, and children. This radical agenda seeks to dismantle the essential services that keep our communities afloat, from healthcare and education to food assistance and disaster preparedness. We cannot let this happen. Together, we will fight to ensure that the needs of our communities come first."

Mayor Rory Hoskins of Forest Park echoed Congressman Davis's concerns, particularly focusing on the harmful effects Project 2025 would have on local education and healthcare programs. "The proposal to eliminate Title I funding will be catastrophic for our schools, putting the futures of thousands of children at risk. We stand with Congressman Davis in opposing this attack on our public education system."

Mayor Nathaniel Booker of Maywood added: "This plan strips away Medicaid and Medicare support from families who rely on it the most. It's an attack on the basic human right to healthcare. The residents of Maywood deserve better, and we will fight for them."

State Representative Camille Lilly emphasized the broader impacts on Illinois residents, stating: "Project 2025 threatens to undermine decades of progress in reproductive rights, food security, and public services. We stand together today to say 'no' to this extreme agenda and 'yes' to the well-being of our families and our communities."

The leaders unanimously called for their constituents to stay vigilant and engaged, urging them to contact their representatives and demand that Project 2025 be stopped before it further endangers the welfare of the district and the state.
