Illinois Revenue Alliance
We are a coalition of labor unions, community-based organizations, and legal advocacy centers.
We advocate for sustained and equitable revenue streams to fund essential programs that help low- and moderate-income families thrive.
The Problem
The State of Illinois is under attack by the federal government.
The federal budget bill passed this summer provided billions of dollars to pay for ICE violence in our communities and cut billions in funding for food assistance and healthcare that low- and moderate-income families desperately need to survive.
The bill also gave $9 billion in tax cuts to the wealthiest individuals and corporations in Illinois, while requiring state legislative action to prevent over $1 billion in annual revenue loss through the state tax code.
Did you know?
Illinois’ tax system is currently the 8th most unequal in the country and the most unequal in the Midwest.
Low-income households pay over double the percentage of their income to state and local taxes as those in the top 1%.
Illinois’ 2026 budget cut essential programs that our families and communities need to thrive.
The Solution
We’ve identified billions being left on the table from big corporations and the wealthiest Illinoisans.
Let’s make them pay their fair share.
We’re Fighting Back
On April 15, Tax Day, over 300 people called on state officials to demand that Illinois fight back against the Trump administration and hold the super-wealthy accountable.
