Stay Informed! 
Join our Budget Update Call on Monday, June 29!

T he state continues to move towards July 1st without an FY16 budget in place, and Governor Rauner just vetoed all but the education portion of the budget that the General Assembly submitted a few weeks ago. 

Please join us on Monday, June 29th from 3:00-4:00 PM for a discussion about the current status of budget conversations in Springfield, what might happen if the state doesn't have a budget by J uly 1st, and information about actions you can take to advocate for an adequate, equitable state budget that is not balanced on the backs of vulnerable residents. 

Although it is good news that the Governor signed an education budget, the lack of a complete state budget, the proposed cuts to human services and other programs, and the absence of adequate revenue means that our work isn't done. We all need to make our voices heard in Springfield. Please dial  712-832-8300 and use the code 983918 to access the call on Monday, June 29th. 

We encourage you to share this invitation with anyone who may be interested in joining the call on Monday.  Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions - you can reach us via email, Twitter, or Facebook
