SPRINGFIELD — State Senator Adriane Johnson stood alongside representatives from the Illinois Department of Human Rights at a press conference Wednesday to outline her legislation to strengthen and preserve Illinois’ civil rights protections amid growing federal rollbacks.
“As federal agencies retreat from enforcing long-standing civil rights protections, Illinois must step forward,” said Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove). “This legislation ensures our state remains a place where fairness, accountability and equal opportunity are not optional — they are the law.”
BUFFALO GROVE – Lake County communities will see more than $1.1 million in new investments to improve local parks and outdoor recreation spaces through the Open Space Land Acquisition and Development grant program, thanks to strong support from State Senator Adriane Johnson.
“Parks and open spaces are essential to the health, well-being and quality of life of our communities,” said Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove). “These investments will help ensure residents of all ages and abilities can safely access and enjoy Lake County’s natural and recreational assets.”
BUFFALO GROVE — State Senator Adriane Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove) released the following statement after Illinois sued the Trump administration over its dangerous immigration enforcement tactics and unlawful use of force:
“I commend Attorney General Kwame Raoul for taking decisive action to protect Illinois residents from dangerous and unlawful federal enforcement practices. No one should fear being stopped, detained or harmed without cause simply for living in their community, and this lawsuit sends a clear message that Illinois will not tolerate violations of our residents’ constitutional rights.
“What we have seen here in Illinois echoes what happened in Minneapolis to Renee Good — where unchecked federal force resulted in devastating harm. These incidents are not isolated. They reveal a troubling pattern of abuse and a disregard for due process, human dignity and public safety.
“I stand with Attorney General Raoul in demanding accountability and reaffirming that in Illinois, the rule of law applies to everyone, including federal agencies.”
SPRINGFIELD — A new law championed by State Senator Adriane Johnson is now in effect, ensuring Illinoisans with past felony convictions cannot be denied final expense life insurance coverage solely because of their record.
“For many families, final expense insurance is a small but critical tool to ease the financial burden of end-of-life costs,” said Johnson (D-Buffalo Grove). “No one should be shut out of planning for their future because of a mistake they’ve already paid for. This law restores fairness and basic dignity.”
