May is a critical month for the Illinois General Assembly in Springfield. Regular session is scheduled to end on May 31, and the deadline to move House bills out of Senate committees is May 8. Key bills are also on the Senate floor—please take action!

During the 104th session of the Illinois General Assembly (2025–2026), lawmakers in Springfield have introduced more than 9,900 pieces of legislation impacting families, taxpayers, parental rights, and our communities. If we do not speak out now, these big government proposals will move forward.

A coordinated push in Springfield could reshape how schools handle “mental health”—with less parental input and more state control. Families must act NOW before these bills advance.

Our Worldview Conference equips families to stand firm in a culture pulling our children away from God. Research from Dr. George Barna shows that embracing 7 core Biblical truths dramatically increases the likelihood of a lasting Biblical worldview (83% vs. just 2% if even one is rejected). Nothing is more important than the spiritual future of our children. Join us — and be equipped to help them stand firm.

Good news! The full matching challenge is now in. Thank you for standing with us to protect children, strengthen families & push back against a godless culture. "Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up..." (Gal. 6:9)

If we are called to be the salt and light of our nation — if we are to overcome evil with good — then we cannot stand by while the noxious lies of our culture go unchallenged.

The lies of Satan are intensifying — but your support today can make a powerful difference. Give now and your gift will be matched dollar for dollar.

President Trump is considering a major shift in federal drug policy—downgrading marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III. While not full legalization, the move would further normalize a drug whose risks and unintended consequences—especially for young people—are becoming harder to ignore.

Illinois is on the brink of legalizing assisted suicide — and we are sounding the alarm. Activists label it “medical aid in dying,” but there is nothing compassionate about prescribing death. Suicide is neither ethical nor moral as medical care. Gov. Pritzker now has SB 1950 on his desk, and the stakes could not be higher.

A petty glitter-bomb stunt aimed at IFI is making headlines — and exposing the Left’s growing intolerance toward Christians. The incident underscores why IFI’s work in Illinois is more urgent than ever.

Protecting women’s sports shouldn’t be controversial — but the clash between Riley Gaines and AOC proves truth is under attack.

A deadly push to legalize assisted suicide has returned in Springfield. Will we protect the vulnerable — or normalize suicide as “healthcare”? Here’s what you need to know — and how you can help stop it.

The time for courage is now. Don’t miss Riley Gaines at IFI’s Annual Banquet as we stand for faith, family, and freedom in Illinois.
