It costs *a lot* to attend a public university in our state – more than in other states around us — and it’s deterring students from earning a degree in Illinois and staying to contribute to our state’s vibrancy.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
We’re grateful to have heard the experiences of Illinois college students at a senate hearing this spring on the need for adequate and equitable state funding for all Illinois’ public 4-years. Among them was @IllinoisStateU rising sophomore and @YoungInvincible Youth Advocate Hassan Hillard.

Election administrators hire on different timelines, so there is no set application deadline nationwide or state-by-state. If you don’t hear back immediately, you may be selected as an alternate. Questions? Visit powerthepolls.org

It’s fantastic to see health coverage rates improve, but disappointing to see poverty rates remain stagnant because of Congress’ inaction on policies like the expanded Child Tax Credit, which we know work.
It's time to prioritize families and pass the expanded CTC!
