THREAD: This moving & historic day marks a major win for our children. Anyone who doubted whether we’d reach this milestone has never met our advocates—the parents who have lost children & the young people who refused to be treated like Big Tech piggy banks. 1/

It will be the first internet safety reform in nearly three decades—a resounding bipartisan achievement showing democracy still works. 5

The House spending proposal for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 could be up for consideration this week - there are some severe cuts to public education included in that bill. It's time to get LOUD!https://t.co/msZFaUJG7V #Hashtag

As school reopening plans unfold across the country, we must grapple with the fact that public education systems as we knew them prior to COVID-19 were poorly funded and, in many cases, deeply inequitable. Take action now at https://t.co/YgHAu8BtLn. #SELS2020 #4SpecialEducation

Mental health MUST be a priority for our schools & our Members of Congress as they consider a budget for the next fiscal year. Take action through CEC’s Legislative Action Center & tell Congress to invest in mental health services in schools! #SELS2020 #4SpecialEducation

[CT CEC @CTCEC1]

We must invest in a pipeline of special ed. teachers so students with disabilities have the teachers, social workers, school counselors & other educators they need to support them. Tell Congress to invest in solutions #4SpecialEducation at https://t.co/DKGIy4Ixzq. #SELS2020

[CT CEC @CTCEC1]

IDEA is chronically underfunded and we need your help to make sure that Congress supports additional funding for the next fiscal year. Take action now by sending a message to your Member of Congress at https://t.co/0iVSBcFIty #SELS2020 #4SpecialEducation

[CT CEC @CTCEC1]

Policymakers are pushing for schools to reopen, but did you know that reopening schools is an economic impossibility without a real federal investment? Schools are not a test ground - Congress is responsible for providing the funding they need. #SELS2020 #4SpecialEducation
