Estamos lanzando la Campaña 🌸 DALES 🌸 FLORES 🌸 para agradecer a los padres, madres y proveedores que cuidan de nuestros niños. Con demasiada frecuencia el cuidado infantil no tiene sueldos dignos ni es valorado, ¡pero es la labor que hace que los demás trabajos sean posible!
Nomina a un padre, madre, proveedor u otro cuidador extraordinario (¡o a ti mismo/a!) para recibir flores en uno de nuestros eventos comunitarios este verano. https://t.co/EXgRyCbMzy
NEW: We’re launching the 🌸 GIVE 🌸 THEM 🌸 FLOWERS 🌸 Campaign to thank parents and providers who care for our children. Far too often child care is underpaid and under-appreciated, but it’s the work that makes all other work possible!
Nominate an amazing parent, provider, or other caretaker (or yourself!) to receive flowers at one of our community events this summer! https://t.co/6d9zwhnGfO

1900+ Oregon families who need child care are now stuck on a waitlist for months or even years. It doesn’t have to be this way. State leaders can use the historic budget surplus to #fundchildcareNOW. Take ACTION: https://t.co/PgDDwEWVWB
