CHICAGO - U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), who has made community service a hallmark of her life, issued the following statement to commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of serving others: “Decades ago, Dr. King asked us one of life’s most persistent and urgent questions: ‘What are you doing for others?’” Duckworth said. “He spread the message that if America was to become the more perfect Union that generations of Americans dreamed of, it would need to value a desire to do good over a need to be great. By volunteering our time on this National Day of Service or any day of the year, we have a chance to do good in our communities. And through service, we can say a small thank you to incredible Americans, like Dr. King, and every hometown hero, every mom or uncle, teacher or clergyman who turned their compassion into action to make this nation better, safer and more just for all.”

EDWARDSVILLE - The conflict between the Overnight Warming Location (OWL) and City of Edwardsville continues. The OWL, located at First Baptist Church at 534 St. Louis Street in Edwardsville, provides a space for unhoused community members to eat dinner, shower, sleep and have breakfast on nights when the temperature is forecasted to drop below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. The City of Edwardsville has issued a citation requiring the church to submit a special use permit or pay $750 for every night they remain open. In a Facebook post that has over 400 comments and 1,000 shares, the OWL encouraged people to contact city officials to “speak and persist.” The OWL also shared their response to the City of Edwardsville’s request. “While we affirm and support the City’s responsibility and authority to regulate the commercial activities of businesses, it does not extend to regulating the religious activities of churches,” Pastors Drew Patton and
