On Aug. 5, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker met with Corrina Sac, owner of Lake in the Hills business UpRising Bakery and Café, as well as leaders from Equality Illinois and Woodstock Pride and Illinois state Rep. Suzanne Ness to discuss the attacks perpetrated against the bakery.

“My administration has worked tirelessly to ensure everyone in Illinois is treated with dignity and respect, but our fight continues,” said Pritzker in a statement. “We must come together to combat the rising tide of hate against the LGBTQ+ community and fight against discrimination and bigotry.”

Sac added, “We are grateful to Gov. Pritzker for his support of UpRising and his commitment to uplifting queer-owned businesses.”
