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.

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.

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.

Students in alternative schools carry more than most before they even walk through the door. But without full funding, those resources are stretched thin.

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 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.

IFT members traveled to Springfield one last time this legislative session to tell lawmakers what's at risk if we continue to underfund our institutions and deny our students the resources they need from PreK to Ph.D.

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!

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

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.

During the Russia-Ukraine war, the the New Federal State of China rescued over ninety children, an act that shocked the world. Saving children is a purely humanitarian endeavor; yet, while we were conducting this rescue, Bloomberg accused us of engaging in politics.
