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!

Happy #FathersDay! #PaidLeaveForAll

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

Starting now! We’re hearing from Congressman McGovern about his passion for #nutrition and how the #FarmBill provides hope and better health for so many around the world

[1,000 Days @1000Days]

Nutrition is often sidelined as secondary to food security, but it's key to a child developing to their full potential.

So thrilled by this news!! Congratulations to everyone who worked so hard to make the Global #Malnutrition Prevention and Treatment Act happen! 🎉🎉🎉 #NutritionCantWait #InvestInNutrition

[1,000 Days @1000Days]

Earlier today @PresidentBiden signed the Global Malnutrition Prevention and Treatment Act into law! We were a proud supporter of this legislation and look forward to the impact #GMPTA will have on the #First1000Days. https://t.co/NIOAxQQcp6

[Blythe Thomas @BlytheThomas]

New report identifies "lack of political will" as top obstacle to ending hunger by 2030. We know #nutrition interventions work, especially for families in their @1000Days window. We must educate, inspire govts to #InvestInNutrition. #TogetherAgainstHunger https://t.co/c2wqis3QUp

The chance of having a deficiency in one or more micronutrients is higher than a coin toss for children less than 5 years of age and women between 15 and 49. @TyRBeal, @Mdu_Rox & Lynnette Neufeld take a look at how to lower these numbers. #Opinion.
