Since it’s @girlscouts cookie season, what’s the proper way to eat thin mints?? (And yes, there is a right answer)

Over the past week, we joined @ymca for National Advocacy Days! Our staff coordinated meetings for our #Youth Advocates to discuss their legislative priorities with @SenAlexPadilla and @SenFeinstein staff. We can’t wait to do it again next year!

[Elizabeth Ernster @e_ernster]

And just like that, National Advocacy Days are a wrap! It was amazing to be able to see colleagues as well as advocate for the needs of our communities. Until next year🤩

#YAdvocate

[Elizabeth Ernster @e_ernster]

How powerful is that! The work our YMCAs do is essential in building bridges and creating a sense of belonging in each and every community.

Thank you Eboo Patel of @interfaithusa for sharing your Y story and your passion for civic bridgebuilding: "Kids who were mean to each other at school were nice to each other at the Y."

Ys have a critical role to play in bringing divided communities together! #YAdvocate

[Elizabeth Ernster @e_ernster]

Ecstatic to be in DC for National Advocacy Days! #Yadvocate

[California State Alliance of YMCAs @ymcasofca]

The history of the Y shows incremental progress toward greater inclusion & equity for all. As we celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth, we are honoring the stories of Black leaders who helped move the Y & America forward. Read highlights of their journeys: https://t.co/S5xKAggFjX

Last week, the Alliance attended an award ceremony for @BurbankYMCA_CA 's Social Impact Center. Senator @Portantino presented $100,000 to the Y's Social Impact Center to support programming. We were grateful to be a part of this night and can't wait to see what the future holds!

[California State Alliance of YMCAs @ymcasofca]

We would like to thank Senator @Scott_Wiener for taking time to speak to our YMCAs about what the future of #AffordableHousing may look like. We're excited to see how we can partner in the future!

[Elizabeth Ernster @e_ernster]

@DanCruzNews @YMCASanDiego @nycmarathon @ASICSamerica @TedDeluxe @ymca Have a great run, Dan! Thank you for representing the Y!

[Senator Josh Newman @JoshNewmanCA]

Currently, CA's data on childhood drownings is inconsistent & incomplete, preventing a comprehensive evaluation of drowning prevention strategies.

#SB855 creates a system for collecting this essential info & will help inform future policies to reduce these tragedies. #CALeg

I would love to be sitting on the .@ChicoState campus at Creekside Coffee with a strawberry cream cheese bagel and iced vanilla coffee right about now.
