đź“Ł A message from IFT President Dan Montgomery:
After 15 years as your president, I’m proud of how far we’ve come — and clear on how much work remains.

Illinois still has nearly 600 school districts below 90 percent funding adequacy. Our students and educators can’t wait another decade for full funding.

It’s time for lawmakers to fix our outdated revenue system and make the wealthy pay their fair share — so every child, in every community, has the resources to learn and thrive.
✊ Enough is enough.
– IFT President Dan Montgomery

Hundreds of thousands of public service workers are being furloughed or forced to work without pay — the same people who care for veterans, process Social Security, and keep our food and water safe.

At the same time, the Trump administration is pushing a plan that could double health insurance costs for 22 million Americans.

It’s time for Congress to end the shutdown, protect jobs, and stop these health care cost hikes. Working people deserve stability — not political games.
