Illinois currently restricts public pension funds, including those supporting teachers’ retirement, from investing in certain companies that boycott Israel.

This raises important questions about protecting our retirement investments, workers’ rights, and freedom of expression.

A YES vote supports asking lawmakers to repeal these restrictions, but it would not automatically change the law or increase pension benefits.

Regardless of where you stand, it’s important to understand how decisions about public pension investments can affect educators and retirees. Our pensions deserve careful financial stewardship, transparency, and informed decision-making.

Make sure you know what you’re voting on November 3!

As you may know, there are some politicians in Central Illinois that are supporting this effort. This would take money away from public schools. Each state can choose whether to participate in the federal voucher program, a decision that our Governor and the IL General Assembly have the power to make. Despite claims of those supporting this, voucher money would NOT go to public schools but instead is issued to individuals.

The link below takes you to a prewritten letter that can be sent to lawmakers.
