This weaponized bureaucracy is unconscionable. A lot of kids will die while aid groups wait for these funds to be released. Come on, Congress. Don't let @DOGE make a joke out of everything America stands for. @SecRubio

We stand with @WhatToExpect + @WTE_Project to celebrate #BumpDay and raise awareness about the need for equitable care for every mom, everywhere.
All of us at @1000Days, including our A/D of Advocacy & Policy @EmmaFeutl, are moms, and we fight everyday to reduce the vast disparities in health and #nutrition across the country and across the 🌎🤱🏼🥕
In the early 90’s, our own @EmmaFeutl's dad was one of the first men in Canada to take part in Canada’s newly minted paternity leave program. It was so novel, it inspired a full-page newspaper spread!

In honour of #FathersDay, check out this blog I wrote about my dad @GKentYEG, who was one of the first cohort of men to take paternity leave in Canada to stay home with me. It's high time for #PaidLeave in the U.S. too so more dads can have this opportunity.
DYK: research shows spending time looking after a baby rewires fathers’ brains? Paternity leave is key to dads bonding more deeply with their children in ways that impact their relationship both now & for years to come. Happy #FathersDay! #PaidLeaveforAll https://t.co/mVXYMZ754E
