Action 1: Illinois’ Tax Credit Voucher Program Event
Please join Illinois Families for Public Schools, the Illinois Education Association, the Illinois Federation of Teachers, and the League of Women Voters of Illinois this Tuesday for an important discussion: What You Need to Know about Invest in Kids: Illinois’ Tax Credit Voucher Program.
Voucher plans are sweeping the country, transferring public funds to private schools. Many Illinois residents don't realize we have a voucher program right here in the form of a tax credit "scholarship" program, known as Invest in Kids.
Our expert panel will look at this national trend, examine the research on student achievement in voucher schools, get a glimpse of the impact of vouchers on students in our neighboring state of Indiana, and present important information about Invest in Kids. Learn how you can join the campaign endorsed by more than 50 local, state, and national organizations to end the program permanently!
Join us for this virtual forum on Tuesday, April 25 at 7 p.m., and please share with parents, educators, neighbors, and other public school supporters in your community!

Action 2: URGENT - Witness Slips to Stop Deceptive Pregnancy Centers
Senate Bill 1909 is making its way through the Illinois legislature, and we need your help once again!
As a reminder, SB1909 would create a mechanism for the Illinois Attorney General to bring legal action against CPCs for deceiving and misinforming pregnant people. Given that Illinois is a destination for abortion seekers, this legislation is more important than ever.
Make sure the Illinois House Health Care Availability & Accessibility Committee knows that pro-choice and pro-abortion Illinoisans support SB1909 by submitting a witness slip before 4 pm on Tuesday, April 25th.
It takes only about one minute to submit a witness slip, and it does make a difference!
Witness Slip Instructions:
I. IDENTIFICATION: with your information. In the Firm/Business or Agency Box and in the Title Box, identify as "Self."
II. REPRESENTATION: as "Self" (unless you actually are representing an organization)
III. POSITION: select "PROPONENT"
IV. TESTIMONY: select "Record of Appearance Only
