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.

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.

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...

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Every student deserves to feel seen, supported, and included at school. And equity requires investment.

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.

#Habs Dobes on bouncing back from Game 6 "I kept the same similar things—a couple of tweaks—but I felt pretty good last game. Emotionally, I wanted to be better. I think getting pulled at home was kind of a wake-up call, and I took it personal. And yeah, we won today, so really happy." #GoHabsGo
