Educators know that supporting English language learners takes time, skill, and resources. It means dedicated staff. It means collaboration. It means the ability to meet students where they are and help them grow.

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...

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.

Just because school's out doesn't mean the learning ends. IFT is offering several opportunities for professional development, but registration is only open for a limited time!

Educators and public workers understand budgets because we live with their consequences. We see what happens when lawmakers prioritize megaproject tax breaks over education funding, and we know exactly what our students lose as a result.

Students don't just need a teacher, they need a team: Counselors. Paraprofessionals.  Nurses. Support staff. Custodians.  The list goes on.

On May Day, we didn’t just talk about history: we walked through it with our students. We spent the day with a class visiting the National Veterans Art Museum, the Haymarket Monument, and ending at May Day actions—connecting American history and literature to the living labor movement around us.

What happens outside the classroom doesn’t stay outside the classroom.

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.

School closes. Paychecks stop. Bills don’t. PSRPs keep our schools running all year — but every summer they’re left without income and without unemployment insurance access. This week, there's still time to show up for them.

The Fifth Circuit's ruling to limit access to medication abortion was a political decision by a few extremist judges. SCOTUS paused that ruling—now Congressional Democrats are arguing what the science always made clear: mifepristone is safe & effective.

You're not tired of voting for the lesser of two evils. You're tired of Republicans. Democrats haven't held the house, the Senate, the White House, and the Supreme Court since 1969 with the Warren Court. 💁🏻‍♂️ Truth bomb guy @ thatnickpowersguy #RepublicansProtectPedofiles #StopVotingForTheRich

The white van has just overtaken & is stopped because of oncoming truck. I'm leaving space if they need to reverse. So the SUV thinks it's a good idea to then overtake to fill that space. Both know before overtaking where they're going next. Both delaying me as I'll fit through on bike before them.
