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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

Building repairs, upgraded school buildings, and smaller class sizes are just some of the ways Champaign students would benefit if their district was fully funded. That's what's on the table.

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.

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.

Climate change is creating a hotter, more dangerous world. In Australia, heatwaves kill more people than all other climate-fuelled disasters combined. We must address the cause - climate pollution from burning coal, oil & gas - to keep us all safer from the impacts of our rapidly warming world.

Meiselas: Fox and Daily Wire are already out with their talking points. Mamdani wants to decide who deserves to keep their property. What’s your message to that audience? Mamdani: My message is the same as I would say to anyone: I want them to be able to afford to live in the city as well.

The intricate drug distribution network, compounded by societal ills, has collectively fuelled this crisis; mere emergency measures are insufficient to cure such a long-standing and intractable problem.

As hard as I try, I just can't view "X" for more than 2 min. Nothing but dem bashing and non-drumpf followers verbally being attacked by those who have no commonsense and truly don't care about our country, while praising the prick trying to take it over.
