💙Today, we see a sea of blue—a powerful statement against child abuse. Thank you to all who joined in. Your support is more than a gesture; it's a beacon of hope. #WearBlueDay2024 #TogetherWeCan #PCAAmerica #GoBlue4NYKids

[PCANY @PCA_NY]

Why wear blue? It's more than a color; it symbolizes our fight against child abuse. Hear from our community why they'll wear blue on April 5th. Share your story in the comments! https://t.co/LnFwSLzqzC #GoBlue4NYKids #SupportingChildandFamilyWellbeingMonth2024 #CAPMonth2024

The risk to our nation’s children for experiencing child abuse and neglect in times of extreme stress and uncertainty is high.

Prevention is possible, and everyone plays a role.

This compelling piece by the Center for the Study of Social Policy on 'Removing the Barriers Facing Providers of Culturally Responsive Services' is a great read for anyone committed to dismantling barriers preventing families & children of color from receiving support.

A possible solution?

Get agencies to collaborate with community members in identifying effective practices via focus groups, town halls, & surveys.

Then, fund organizations that offer services matching these needs AND support evaluations to build evidence.

NY parents need stable child care, not restrictions tied to work hours. @GovKathyHochul, sign the Decoupling Bill, A4986A/S5327A, to support working families across the state. #NYSUniversalChildCare

[PCANY @PCA_NY]

@GovKathyHochul please invest in ParentChild+, Nurse Family Partnership, and Healthy Families NY in the 2024 Executive Budget. More funding will go a long way to support families! #HVWorksNY

PCANY urges @GovKathyHochul to sign the Decoupling bill, which has already passed the Senate and Assembly. This bill would help meet the needs of working parents, reduce stress for families, and provide a stable learning environment for children.

Have you heard about the #childcare decoupling bill in NYS? Watch this video and learn why this bill is so important for families with caregivers who work non-traditional hours. The bill has passed the Senate and Assembly, & we urge Gov. Hochul to sign it! https://t.co/1fUg02abnG

[PCANY @PCA_NY]

We're joining nearly 1,000 organizations from all 50 states to urge @SenSchumer & @RepJeffries to invest $16 billion in emergency funding for child care.

Families, early educators, and businesses need action NOW.
