Illinois has one of the lowest ratios of state employees per capita in the nation. As a result, chronic understaffing delays vital services for families, seniors, and small businesses. But equitable state funding can help! If we raise revenue by taxing the ultra-wealthy...

When classrooms are too large, students get less individual attention, educators are stretched thin, and learning suffers. Teachers know this because they live it every day. Students feel it because it shapes their experience in school.

For months, IFT members have been coming together and standing up to demand a state that puts working people over billionaire profits, that invests in our students, higher education, communities AND the people who work to support them.

No paycheck all summer long. That's the reality for thousands of paraprofessionals and school-related personnel, and it takes a toll. PSRPs do essential work, but face unnecessary instability during academic breaks.

Serving ✨ full funding energy ✨ for our students. Paraprofessionals know exactly what students need to learn, grow, and feel supported. The only thing missing? Lawmakers choosing full funding over corporate giveaways.

Paraprofessionals and support staff show up every day for students. But when the school day ends, many are still figuring out how to make ends meet, leaning on their village for childcare, picking up extra work, or going without. That’s neither sustainable nor fair.

If we truly believe children are our future, then our budgets should reflect it. Investing in education is investing in stronger communities, a healthier economy, and a better tomorrow.

Underfunding has consequences. It looks like crowded classrooms, understaffed campuses, rising tuition, and stretched public services. With our Full Funding Friday actions, we're showing lawmakers and the public that schools and communities need full funding to thrive.

Building repairs, upgraded school buildings, and smaller class sizes are just some of the ways Champaign students would benefit if their district was fully funded. That's what's on the table.

If public education isn't fully resourced, we will still see the majority of our schools inadequately funded across the state - meaning that cuts or property taxes make up the difference.

Our voice is our power. That’s why Donald Trump and Republican leaders are trying so hard to suppress Americans’ votes in the upcoming elections. But we can fight, and we can win, by keeping up our efforts and standing up for our rights and freedoms in this country.
