Register for IFT’s Full Funding Webinar—Wed., March 4, 6:00-7:00 PM

On Tuesday, March 4, we’re hosting a full funding webinar for all members. This session will break down how Illinois’ shortfalls on funding education, higher education, and essential public services is the direct result of a broken revenue system that protects the ultra‑wealthy while forcing working families and public institutions to pay the price.

If we want full funding, Illinois must raise the revenue to pay for it — and that means finally taxing the ultra‑wealthy to pay for the future our classrooms, campuses, and communities deserve.

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND

In this session, we’ll cover:

• What happens to students when districts operate at 70–80% of what they need

• Why higher‑ed institutions are struggling to retain faculty and maintain programs

• How underfunded public services weaken entire communities

• Why the state cannot meet its obligations without new, fair revenue from taxing the ultra-wealthy and without placing the burden on working families

Whether you joined our Lobby Day, participated in Full Funding Fridays, or are newly plugged into the movement, this webinar is the perfect way to stay engaged and informed. Learn exactly what’s at stake and how we can act together for change.

YOUR VOICE IS POWERFUL: USE IT

Every action we take builds momentum. By attending the webinar, you'll gain the tools and knowledge to help us push lawmakers, mobilize coworkers, and keep our efforts strong toward a fairer tax system and fully funded services.

Don’t miss it! Register today and be part of the movement for a better, fully funded Illinois.
