"There’s no denying now that child care is essential to a healthy economy. It’s time to treat it as such."

A big thank you to #WAleg for acknowledging how critical it is to invest in our communities. We must continue down this path.

We're Patty Liu's biggest fans and grateful for all the work she does to further accessible early learning and child care.🙌

[Tana Senn @TanaSenn]

Great choice @PattyMurray. Patty Liu shared her story with the WA legislature this year testifying in favor of the #fairstart4kids Act! Let’s make these #childcare #infrastructure investments federally too! #waleg #JointAddress #helpishere

[Equity Starts Early ☀️ WA @EarlyStartWA]

These types of investments, particularly into early learning and childcare, are crucial to moving past the crises of the last year and into more equitable care. Well done #waleg

We love to hear it! 📣

...and the Fair Start for Kids Act is on its way to the Governor!! @SenClaireWilson @andybillig @ChoppRep #waleg Woot Woot! #FairStart4Kids @childcarewa @WA_CCF @EarlyStartWA @WAearlylearning

[Equity Starts Early ☀️ WA @EarlyStartWA]

Thank you to our Washington legislators for making a historic investment in early learning and child care. This year’s budget is critical to our recovery and will make WA more equitable for all.

[Equity Starts Early ☀️ WA @EarlyStartWA]

Thank you #WAleg for hearing our voices. 🙌 We know the many benefits of equitable and accessible child care and early learning— benefits that ripple throughout our communities. #EquityStartsEarly

[Equity Starts Early ☀️ WA @EarlyStartWA]

Thank you child care providers for your hard work this past year. Your heroism hasn't gone unnoticed. Washington's lawmakers—like legislators all across the country—are focused on getting you the support you need so we can all recover together and equitably. #EquityStartsEarly

[Equity Starts Early ☀️ WA @EarlyStartWA]

#WAleg is on track to invest in child care, recognizing that it’s a critical service that must be available to essential workers during the pandemic in order to fuel the state’s economic recovery.

Keep up the momentum: https://t.co/OYjCHFnQ24

[Equity Starts Early ☀️ WA @EarlyStartWA]

To advance gender and racial equity, it's crucial #WAleg invest in early learning and child care. #EquityStartsEarly

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

When I came to the Senate, women in the workforce were supposed to keep silent about the challenges they faced—like lack of paid leave or caregiving for children and parents. That's changed—and we have to use this opportunity to take action. https://t.co/TdQ9xN2iWa

[Equity Starts Early ☀️ WA @EarlyStartWA]

The crises of the past year undermined the existing child care system, which was already inadequate, highlighting how critical it is that we build a system in WA that makes child care available and affordable to families who need it. Keep up the momentum: https://t.co/OYjCHFnQ24

[Equity Starts Early ☀️ WA @EarlyStartWA]

Accessible child care is essential to our state's economic recovery and overall wellbeing. #WAleg is on track to invest in child care, but we must keep up the momentum. Sign the petition @ https://t.co/OYjCHFFrqE

[Equity Starts Early ☀️ WA @EarlyStartWA]

This year increased racial + economic disparities in WA— Lack of access to affordable child care makes those disparities worse. WA leaders are poised to get our economy back on track by expanding access to child care.

Keep up the momentum: https://t.co/aExNogKHvH #WAUnites

[Equity Starts Early ☀️ WA @EarlyStartWA]

As we rethink our childcare system, we must focus on offsetting the financial burden on families and increasing access to affordable child care. #EquityStartsEarly #WAleg

Millions of women were forced out of the workforce during the pandemic. Accessible child care—stemming from the investments #Waleg is poised to make—is critical family & workplace infrastructure. Without it, Washington won't recover from this crisis.

Getting coffee this morning, barista asked what my chill Saturday plans were.

Me: NBD just passing landmark investments in childcare and early learning for Washington families and care providers.

#WaLeg #ChildcareCrisis

[Equity Starts Early ☀️ WA @EarlyStartWA]

Managing work and family has never been more difficult, and voters across Washington are uniting around early learning and child care. Will our leaders stand with us?

Families need better child care options to be able to get back into work. #WAleg is on the right track to reverse this trend, but only with continued investments into early learning and child care. #EquityStartsEarly
