In response to this federal uncertainty, Illinois Partners is working closely with our coalition partners to encourage state leaders to stand strong and continue supporting the vital work of community-based providers and frontline workers across Illinois.
At a moment when instability at the federal level threatens access to essential services, state leadership plays a critical role in protecting programs, workers, and the communities they serve.
We invite you to review our 2026 policy and advocacy priorities, with some bill numbers still pending as the session continues to take shape.
We also hope you will join us for our 2026 Policy and Advocacy Kickoff on February 5 at 12 pm, where we will walk through our legislative priorities for the session ahead and share Quarter Two findings from our research series, Federal Changes, Community Consequences.
We look forward to grounding this work together and charting a path forward rooted in stability, care, and collective action.
