 Education advocates from across Illinois gathered in Springfield on May 2 to call for reforming education funding. This is a historic moment for Illinois, and we do not want to miss this opportunity. I’d like to thank everyone who took the time and effort to lend their voice to this important cause by joining me and thousands of high school students, community groups, religious leaders and parents at the rally at the State Capitol.
If you weren’t able to attend the rally, I urge you to call your legislators and tell them why it's so important for our children and our future. A strong Chicago outcry will reinforce the critical importance of this issue and offers you a chance to participate in a momentous public debate.
We have a chance to make history, and we do not want to miss the opportunity to help create the school system our children need and deserve.
Sincerely,
Arne Duncan
