Inflation has increased the costs of funding schools, causing districts to choose between which resources & services they can provide for students. @staterep46 & @SenatorFaraci please invest more than the min. level of funding for EBF. #FundtheFormula

[Faith Coalition for the Common Good @FaithCoalition]

Funding matters! @ISBENews & @TonySanderSupt, we urge you to put an additional $550M for #EBF in the FY25 proposed budget. #FundtheFormula

Inflation has increased the costs of adequately funding schools causing districts to choose between which services to provide. Invest $550M more to allow our schools to make long-term investments in programs, staff, & resources @ISBEnews #FundtheFormula

[Faith Coalition for the Common Good @FaithCoalition]

@ISBENews @TonySandersSupt, we encourage you to prioritize $550M for #EBF in FY25. It is vital to get our state to full funding sooner to support the academic, social-emotional, and physical needs of students, families and staff. #FundtheFormula

Four years ago, the IL Supreme Court Court Commission on Pretrial Practices hosted its first public hearing on wealth-based jailing.

Four years later, the court is deliberating on a lawsuit challenging the Pretrial Fairness Act, a law that will #EndMoneyBail in Illinois.

We anticipate that this poorly reasoned decision will be swiftly corrected by the Illinois Supreme Court.

The trial court has sided with 58 State’s Attorneys suing over the Pretrial Fairness Act. The court did not issue an injunction and the law still take effect on January 1st.

At the polls last week, Illinois voters rejected efforts to incite fear. @chicagotribune op-ed is out now with Michelle Alexander, author of @thenewjimcrow, on why Illinois lawmakers must protect the Pretrial Fairness Act & eliminate cash bail: https://t.co/3IwmlPMjWC

Tomorrow, the Illinois legislature begins Veto Session.

Make sure your legislators know you want them to protect the Pretrial Fairness Act: https://t.co/HYWusEbUEG

We must protect the Pretrial Fairness Act.

The Pretrial Fairness Act was passed in IL because State's Attorneys were locking up too many Black & poor people who posed no danger. Modifying it to give them more power to do just that would be a colossal failure.

Last night at Piper Glen Golf course we disrupted a SAFE-T Act town hall meant to fear-monger & spread misinformation about the Pretrial Fairness Act rooted in racism. We oppose efforts to repeal this act and further mass incarceration in Illinois. #PretrialFairness #PeoplePower

[Faith Coalition for the Common Good @FaithCoalition]

@SenPatrickjoyce One way to continue working for the people of Illinois- end cash bail and continue your support of the Pretrial Fairness Act. Thank you!!!!

[Faith Coalition for the Common Good @FaithCoalition]

@SenTharp Thanks for your continued support of the Pretrial Fairness Act and keeping the presumption of innocence in Illinois. You are doing right for the common good of our communities! <3
