Sen. Feigenholtz called Gov. Rauner “the worst ever” at the Indivisible Lakeview meeting in 2025. She didn’t say one word about her biggest legislative achievement that he signed into the law in 2015. She also said at that meeting that she “can read the minds of everyone in her district”. We can safely say, not everyone.

Sen. Sara Feigenholtz, D-Chicago, sponsored the bill when serving in the Illinois House and describes it as a "moral clarity tool," leading a tidal wave of anti-BDS legislation in 36 other states.

On April 30, a packed subcommittee hearing put the reality of Illinois' anti-BDS law on the record — unconstitutional, politically motivated, and out of step with the values of Illinois constituents. Now we need a floor vote. Tell your rep and senator: don't let this bill die in committee.
