I'm so proud of and inspired by the #ymcayfs and #ymcacrs staff and programs that are continuing to strengthen our community in the face of #COVID19. We put together a little video to show how we're doing just that - check it out below! https://t.co/YxqHMKht7h

I am grateful we work in a space that prioritizes justice and equity, that challenges and recognizes privilege, and actively advocates for just policies and protests inequality, inequity, and racism. (2/2)

[Krysta Esquivel, MSW @EsquivelKrysta]

I can't possibly sum up feelings nor speak for others, but here is what I know: I commit to doing anti-racist work & also know I need to do better as a leader to stop and listen, be uncomfortable, and act as an anti-racist both personally and professionally. (1/2)

Bailout=investment. Simply put, #childcare is critical to the strength of our economy and ensures the stability and well-being of our next generation. Cannot think of a better use of public funds.

[Anne Hedgepeth @anne_hedgepeth]

"Elementary and high schools are publicly financed, so no one doubts that schools and teachers will still be there when the country fully reopens. There is no such assurance for #childcare." from @clairecm https://t.co/qsVFit4X1o

More and more families are experiencing stress and financial instability now, and these are major risk factors for child abuse. #ChildAbusePreventionMonth is a good time (but not the only time!) to think about strengthening families and preventing abuse.
