TODAY at 7:00 PM: Urgent Tier 2 Call

We're running out of time to fix Tier 2 this session, and your participation is critical.

Tonight at 7 PM, please join Illinois Federation of Teachers (IFT) President Dan Montgomery and Executive Vice President and Chicago Teachers Union President Stacy Davis Gates for an urgent telephone town hall. We'll share critical updates on Tier 2 pensions, the current political landscape, and how both directly affect your work and your future. When your phone rings, pick up. You'll learn exactly what’s at stake and what we must do right now to win. 

This is our moment - we can't afford to sit it out.

We’ve been fighting for years to fix Tier 2 and protect retirement security for all public employees. Last November, we introduced the Fair Retirement and Recruitment Act—legislation that addresses the major shortcomings of Tier 2 pensions. Since then, we’ve worked closely with legislators and met every fiscal requirement set by Governor JB Pritzker’s office. Our amended proposal (Senate Bill 1937) is fiscally responsible, strengthens the pension system, adds nothing to the state’s unfunded liability, and protects the state’s credit rating.  

Illinois can lead the nation by ensuring public employees receive a fair pension and long-term retirement security. We’re calling on Governor Pritzker to stand with us.  

Don't wait for the call to take action! Please click here now.

Thank you for staying engaged and helping to fix Tier 2!
