“Our public transit systems are the backbone of our communities – connecting residents to their jobs, schools, doctors and more,” said Villivalam (D-Chicago). “Now is the time to embrace viable, long-term solutions that provide a world-class public transit system to Illinoisans.”

CHICAGO — To honor the life of Wadee AlFayoumi, a six-year-old Palestinian Muslim-American boy from Plainfield, State Senator Ram Villivalam sponsored a resolution earlier this year designating Sept. 21, 2025 as Wadee Day in Illinois.

“A hate-driven act shook our community, state and country, resulting in the loss of a young life,” said Villivalam (D-Chicago). “As hate has no place in our state, I hope Sept. 21 serves as a reminder of the life of Wadee AlFayoumi and how we can continue to work to prevent violence.”
