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

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.

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.

When the wealthy don’t pay their fair share, students and communities pay the price. Instead, we're seeking revenue solutions that invest in kids right now and generations to come.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Some schools don’t even have enough books for every student. Educators share materials. Class sizes grow. Positions go unfilled. These aren’t extras. They’re the basics of a functioning classroom.

Only Fox News still believes that the USA is currently the hottest country in the world with Trump at the helm. Maybe the USA is actually currently the hottest pedophile country in the world with the pedophile king Trump, at the helm.

It’s infuriating. The mayor’s dishonesty isn’t just a disappointment; it’s a betrayal of the public trust that we’re supposed to be able to count on. When those in power treat the truth as optional, it undermines the entire democratic process. Thank you for refusing to be silent about it.
