Our Stories

With so much at stake, it’s time for us to stand with students and educators to help improve reading outcomes in Illinois.

It’s important that the elected school board structure works to support safe, equitable, stable, high-quality schools for our children.

We need to rev up the advocacy machine and show the committee the deep support behind this bill.

Now is the time to come together to support Chicago, our families, our schools, and the future of our world-class City!

Today, Stand for Children officially announced our very own Jessica Handy as our new Illinois Executive Director.
