This is the FINAL PUSH.
The legislative session ends TONIGHT at midnight, and there is still time to make lawmakers hear us loud and clear.
Over the past week, parents, childcare providers, workers, organizers, and families have filled the Capitol, marched through the rotunda, shared their stories, and demanded an Illinois that puts community need before corporate greed.
Now we need everyone to take one final action.
Contact your elected officials.
Share our posts.
Talk to your community.
Help us keep the pressure on until the very last moment.
Illinois families should not lose vital services while billion-dollar corporations continue avoiding their fair share.
This movement has always been powered by ordinary people choosing to stand together and fight for one another.
Let’s finish strong. Drop a✊🏾in the comments to let us know you made your calls!

The legislative session is not over yet, and lawmakers still need to hear from us. We have until Sunday, May 31 at midnight to get our revenue bills across the finish line!
Our communities cannot afford more cuts while billion-dollar corporations continue avoiding their fair share. Right now, elected officials are making decisions that will impact childcare, healthcare, housing support, and critical services across Illinois.
Take a few minutes today to contact your legislators and tell them to put community need before corporate greed.
Every call, email, message, and post matters. ✊🏾
"The people united will never be defeated!" ✊🏿 ✊🏽 ✊🏼 ✊🏻
Yesterday's day of action in Springfield was incredibly powerful - now, we have to keep up the pressure! Hop on Zoom with us tonight for a virtual Power Hour, during which we'll take action together from home. Link to join in comments!
The legislative session in Illinois ends this Sunday, May 31 - now, we have to keep up the pressure in order to prevent more harmful cuts to healthcare access, child care, education, youth programming, and so much more.
This is what people power looks like.
Today at the Illinois State Capitol, our members showed up with their families, their children, their stories, and their communities behind them to demand a future where every family has what they need to thrive.
Because this fight is bigger than one budget cycle or one legislative session.
It is about the kind of Illinois we are building for the next generation.
When children grow up seeing people organize, speak out, and fight for their communities, they learn that their voices matter too.
Too Black! Too Strong! ✊🏾
And still pushing forward together.
