Back to Work Illinois (BWI) is a broad coalition of civic, business, community and labor organizations dedicated to the successful implementation of Illinois’ capital investment plan through outreach, education and advocacy.

 

BWI’s goal is to ensure that the capital program is fully funded and implemented in order to put Illinois back to work NOW, address critical funding needs for thousands of projects across the state, and to generate new local revenues and redevelopment for neighborhoods, schools, transportation infrastructure, public works and community development across the state.

 

 

 

 

Back to Work Illinois is an initiative of the Illinois Coin Machine Operators Association and the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers, in support of extensive and ongoing advocacy efforts by the Illinois Chamber, the Illinois AFL-CIO, Illinois Restaurant Association, Cook County Building and Trades, Illinois Pipe Trades Association and other organizations to implement the first comprehensive state capital plan in over a decade.
