Ramirez | R000617 | ramirez.house.gov | ramirez | https://ramirez.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | Chicago, IL — Today, Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez (IL-03) released the following statement: “Words have meaning and consequences. For more than a year, we have seen a rise in bigotry and hateful rhetoric in the media, from elected officials, and on the campaign trail by politicians. Dehumanization fuels violence and makes us all less safe. From the hate crime against an Orthodox Jewish man in the West Ridge neighborhood to despicable comments about Puerto Rico, antisemitic words from school board appointees, and an Islamophobic post amplified and celebrated by a sitting Illinois legislator, our families are grappling with the painful impacts that hateful statements and actions have on our communities. I have said repeatedly that our collective safety and security are interconnected. It’s why I introduced the Wadee Resolution that calls out Islamophobia, Antisemitism, and all forms of bigotry and hate. It’s also why I believe those of us in public service must lead by example, affirm our shared humanity and be held accountable. I am committed to building an Illinois where all our neighbors can live and worship as their full, authentic selves and where we appreciate that our multiracial, multi-faith communities only make us stronger.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T22:07:06Z |
