Families deserve access to data about the schools in their state. @EdDataCampaign asked parents—the intended audience of school report cards—what they think about their state’s report card. Watch DQC's #ShowMeTheData video: https://t.co/qSe74tXLEY

Every baby deserves a strong start. @SenatorCantwell, @PattyMurray, @RepStricklandWA it's time to prioritize the policies babies & families need to thrive. #ThinkBabies #ChildCare #MentalHealth #PaidLeave #ChildTaxCredit #FamilySupport #EarlyHeadStart #StrollingThunder

We were able to grab an impromptu meeting with @notgonnaleila, Senior Policy Advisor for the United States Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. She put up with us, even though we brought Joel. 🤣#parentswholead #togetherwerise

[CLASP Child Care & Early Education @CLASPChildCare]

The @POTUS proposed #budget:
➡️Invests $600 billion over 10 years in early education & #childcare
➡️Expands access to #childcare for 16 million more children–more than 8x the number of children who currently receive assistance
➡️Increases Pre-K access to 4 million 4 year olds

Threats to the Indian Child Welfare Act (#ICWA) make this a good time to learn more about #indigenous sovereignty, this crucial #ChildWelfare legislation, and what #StatePolicy advocates can do. Join in on 4/19! https://t.co/fKd0UOxf29
