You are part of the fabric of Illinois, the public pension system includes you! Follow us to stay informed
To all the public sector workers who give their all, thank you for your passion and dedication – you move Illinois forward!
Decades of skipped payments—not workers—caused the crisis. We can fix it by funding pensions responsibly.
A pension is a commitment: reliable income in retirement, earned through years of public service. It’s part of the agreement between workers and the communities they serve.
What do you think about this bill that passed unanimously on May 31st? 👀You can review the latest op ed we found here loom.ly/LwzhM1o
Who relies on pensions in Illinois? Teachers. Firefighters. Nurses. Social workers. Public pensions support the people who support all of us. #ProtectPensions #ILPublicWorkers #RetirementSecurity
So who is it that contributes to a pension? Public workers pay a percentage of their paycheck into their pension fund. The state and employers are supposed to contribute their share, too — this guarantees a reliable retirement for those who serve our community!
Governor JB Pritzker's statement around pension funding when signing the budget. What do you think? 🤔
Pensions are funded by: ✅ Employee contributions ✅ Employer payments ✅ Smart, long-term investment of pension fund assets Together, these enable a stable retirement for our workers!
🎙️ Now’s your chance to get real answers from Susan Sadlowski Garza, Executive Director of Secure Illinois Retirements. 👇 Drop your question in the comments, DM us, or email: [email protected] Sue will answer selected questions in an upcoming video!
We’re proud to announce Susan Sadlowski Garza as the new Executive Director of Secure Illinois Retirements. With deep roots in labor, public service, and equity, she brings a bold vision for retirement security in Illinois👏 Join us in welcoming her!
A pension isn’t a "perk". It’s a promise made to those who serve. After years of dedication to our communities, public workers deserve the retirement they were guaranteed. We’re here to protect that promise together. Join the movement.
