Electing Education Champions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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 \u2013 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Illinois, this work is conducted through two bipartisan entities, Stand for Children IL PAC<\/a> and Stand for Children IL IEC<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Illinois General Election is on November 8, 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
