From #ChildCareDeserts to early educator's wages—issues with accessing, affording, and providing child care disproportionately impact people by race. This #BlackHistoryMonth we're making sure to uplift the people and organizations fighting for a better now. #ChildCare4All

KC Mayor Quinton Lucas @MayorLucasKC has signed Ordinance 200037, which authorizes an April vote on a 1/4 cent sales tax increase for fire department operations.

Free transit and increased focus on affordable housing start to lose their luster when we increase taxes and continuously give away money to developers, no? But maybe Kansas City is only unwilling to raise taxes for kids?https://t.co/neH3kaUB5t

More aptly named, “How much truth can your white child handle?”. Omitting and censoring “adult topics” is a form of privilege not all families have.

It’s not about how honest we are about the awful state of the world, it’s about equipping our children... https://t.co/LsmsuWSdvA

Checkout the events below- if you have a rising 5th or 6th grade girl there is no better school in town! We cannot say enough good things about the caliber of educators and staff. Their commitment to decentering whiteness and building an authentic... https://t.co/klMRpEaKy2

We KNOW that pre-K, especially for very young children, is critically important for brain development: https://t.co/hVSiWkVtpb

@TheFastPitch Profiting off of reducing Pacific culture to kitsch? @JulepKC missed an opportunity to celebrate the season without exploitation of another's culture.
