Illinois has one of the most unequal tax structures in the country. As part of the Illinois Revenue Alliance, we're committed to solutions that ensure corporations and the wealthy pay what they owe to fully fund services and shift the burden off low- and middle-income families.

Illinois' new Digital Ad Tax will raise $1 billion from big tech.

This morning, SEIU members with @32BJSEIU took to the streets in front of Palantir's NYC office with a clear demand: End Palantir's collaboration with ICE!
ICE has been terrorizing our families, and Palantir is the backbone of their data operations. Union workers say it must end!

BREAKING: After students walked out, rallied, testified, and demanded that CPS invest in their school and their futures, ChiArts educators voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike if necessary to protect the programs their students love and deserve.
They are fighting for adequate staffing, preserving a world-class arts high school, protecting meaningful arts instruction, and ensuring students don't have to choose between the arts, AP classes, world languages, and other opportunities that help them thrive.
The ChiArts community has put forward real solutions that preserve the conservatory model while meeting district requirements. CTU has done the work and built a blueprint. Now they're demanding a seat at the table.
CTU stands in solidarity with ChiArts educators and students as they fight to keep the arts alive, protect opportunities for young artists, and ensure ChiArts remains a thriving public school for generations to come.
Read their letter to Executive Director Evans, Chief Timbers and members of the Board of Education.

REMINDER: We can afford to protect and expand Social Security through the rest of the century if the richest among us pay their fair share!

Our students deserve fully funded schools. Our families deserve affordable housing, food, and healthcare.
But Trump is choosing to spend billions targeting Black, brown, and immigrant communities with violent ICE enforcement instead of supporting the people.
On March 28, we stand together to reject fear and defend our communities. We believe in democracy — not kings.
📢 See you tomorrow: March 28 at 11 AM, Prudential Plaza

This isn’t an accident, it’s a strategy.
Starve public services, point to the damage, then hand them over to private interests. Meanwhile, working families are left with fewer resources and fewer opportunities.
CTU is standing up for the public good, because our schools, our communities, and our futures aren’t for sale.
Join us this May Day as we organize for investment, accountability, and justice. ✊🏽

It’s the latest in a string of student-led walkouts at high schools nationally and in the Chicago area, but Friday’s walkout appears to be one of the few centered on the war in Iran. chicago.suntimes.com/educati…

SHAME on every Republican who voted to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid with a so-called "Balanced Budget Amendment."
It did not pass — but now they are on the record.
