Children are the future decision makers, the future leaders in public policy, and the population that will be cleaning up disasters made through ineffective policy and budget decisions right now. Policy makers have a duty to create sustainable paths for the future. #11%forEI

Early Intervention services can change a child's life for the better. But a lack of providers and long wait lists impede children's development.

45 orgs across NY ask @AndreaSCousins and @CarlHeastie to increase EI reimbursement rates by 11% in the state budget. #KidsCantWait

Our 4410 and 853 schools deserve adequate funding to operate 5 days a week for children. Equitable funding for 4410s and 853s is a need just the same as foundation aid. @BJencik @GovKathyHochul @CountyExecBello @childrensagenda @SchuylerCenter @AQE_NY @DemondLMeeks @senatorERM

Do politicians care that students at BOCES and Mary Cariola are not in school full time? CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES ARE STILL BEING LEFT BEHIND. Where is the funding to assist with staff shortages in our 4410 schools? @Governor_Hochul @HelpingMonroe @CountyExecBello

Let's all do our fair share of investing in children!

Digital ad sales ---> $ for Early and K-12 Education

Sounds good to us!

[Schuyler Center @SchuylerCenter]

We agree, @GovKathyHochul (and so does the data!) - child care is essential and the final #NYSBudget MUST invest the full $5 billion needed to take large steps toward #NYSUniversalChildCare.

[The Children's Agenda @childrensagenda]

56% of parents in Rochester w/ kids 0-12 yrs say coordinating child care has been complicated by the pandemic

48% of parents in suburban Monroe Co say the same

Listen to parents. Now is the time for universal, affordable child care.

Payment rates are lower than they were 20 years ago and MUST be raised so help is available when kids need it! #kidscantwaitnys #11percentforEI

First, find your representative https://t.co/hOuUnBpmv6

Then, tell them our Kids Can’t Wait and we MUST raise reimbursement rates

[The Children's Agenda @childrensagenda]

The state budget is being negotiated now.

Call your Assemblymember and State Senator and tell them #KidsCantWait for Early Intervention.

Call on them to advocate for increasing Early Intervention reimbursement rates by 11% so no child has to wait for life-changing services.

Kids belong on playgrounds, not waitlists.

We call on @GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins to increase Early Intervention reimbursement rates by 11%.

#KidsCantWait for developmental service.

This stage of the pandemic is taking a hard toll on #childcare providers like Bernadette Ngoh, who had to "tell families that she will not charge them if they keep a sick child out of school for a week — even though she can’t afford to do it." https://t.co/myyt73bLM3
