Educators know what kids need, and we've got clear ideas to get there. But right now, schools are being asked to do more with less while corporations are getting tax breaks.

Illinois’ public universities are being slowly starved—and students are paying the price. Years of chronic underfunding have led to program cuts, fewer faculty and staff, and rising tuition and fees at our public colleges and universities.

Hear firsthand from AFT Local 604 members in the East Aurora council how fully funding public education would directly improve the lives of their students.

Full funding for our schools means: ✅ Smaller class sizes ✅ Stocked libraries ✅ Student-centered spaces ✅ Investment in teachers and staff

Save the dates! IFT members will be joining events around the state to on May Day to demand that our government put our students and working people over greedy billionaires and corporate profits. Then, we'll be taking our fight for funding to Springfield on May 27.

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.

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.

IFT members like Josh Webster from Madison Fed. of Teachers and Support Personnel (Local 763) are fighting for full and fair funding for our students.

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.

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.
