On April 27, Higher Education Faculty will hold a "Teach-Out" as part of the Fund Our Future Coalition. The coalition includes the IEA-NEA, the University Professionals of Illinois, IFT-AFT, Local 1600, and a host of other Illinois unions and activist groups.

Join other IEA members and students to show the faces of our students whose future hangs in the balance by a governor’s refusal to pass a budget. This is a great opportunity to stand up for our students and our schools.
