Electing Education Champions

Stand for Children supports candidates who are committed to fighting for education equity and racial justice to create a brighter future for us all. We look for champions at the state and local level who are bold, substantive, and solutions-oriented – leaders who move the needle forward for the next generation and dismantle the systemic barriers holding back too many in areas including education, economic opportunity, and equity.

In Illinois, this work is conducted through two bipartisan entities, Stand for Children IL PAC and Stand for Children IL IEC.
