A key part of making #childcare affordable for families is cutting costs for providers. SB 1145 does exactly that by ensuring providers are eligible for property tax relief!

Thanks to this ⭐️All-Star⭐️ team for putting families first and getting creative. #txlege

With only days left, it is easy for impt bills to get lost in the 11K+ bills introduced - especially those for children. "Kids can’t vote or hire lobbyists, so it is up to us to speak extra loudly for them." - @DrBobSanborn @mandikimball (@childrenatrisk) https://t.co/5qIhv2VCJJ

[CHILDREN AT RISK @childrenatrisk]

So many great bills for families are up for a vote in the Texas House Wednesday!

In addition to HB 2607, show your support for HB 290 so eligible kids can keep their health insurance and HB 133 so moms with little babies can keep their insurance! >> https://t.co/XYq3Z1cNgS

IRED Committee Chair @AngieChenButton closes today's historic hearing with a powerful statement.

"Child care is not only a very important family issue and not only an important education issue but also a workforce and an economic issue."

We couldn't agree more! #TXPN3 #txlege

“When you know better you do better. My bill, CSHB 162 rescues children from the clutches of sex predators and puts them on the path to healing and recovery.” - Rep.Thierry #TXLege We have an opportunity to do better. #PROTECT Don’t Arrest Child Sexual Abuse Victims. #SafeHarbor

[CHILDREN AT RISK @childrenatrisk]

Child care is the engine that drives Texas businesses.

Access to high-quality child care enables families to go to work and helps prepare our future workforce.

We are glad to see so many business leaders speaking out in support! #TXPN3 #txlege

Yesterday, Children at Risk experts testified in support of HB 1540 (@Senfronia4Texas) which would make it harder for human traffickers to target children in Residential Treatment Centers.

"Child care is the small, silent engine that drives Texas businesses."

Child care is economic development. It's great to see TX business leaders + legislators like @AngieChenButton, @jamestalarico, & @Senfronia4Texas champion #ECE this #txlege session.

I am proud to file HB 2633 to create a funding stream to provide immediate care, long-term housing & support to child victims of human trafficking. This is just the beginning of our efforts to provide these victims with the recovery they deserve & put an end to human trafficking.

[CHILDREN AT RISK @childrenatrisk]

TX policies should support infants & toddlers amid the rapid brain development of early childhood!

So the #TXlege should ensure moms have insurance for a year after childbirth.

This report shows some of the costs of failing to act.

We are also grateful for the #txlege champions working to pass laws this session to #endtrafficking, support survivors, and increase protections #forchildren!

Thank you @SenBryanHughes for your inspiring remarks at today's rally! We are grateful for your allyship in the fight to #EndTrafficking and child exploitation.

Looking forward to working with you this #txlege session!

[Senator Bryan Hughes @SenBryanHughes]

Honored to speak alongside Sen. @joanhuffman, Rep. @RepSenfronia, and so many great legislators at the #humantrafficking Rally Day hosted by @childrenatrisk.
We are standing up for victims and prosecuting the criminals responsible for these horrible acts. #txlege

[CHILDREN AT RISK @childrenatrisk]

In its new report, the Texas Maternal Mortality Review Committee is calling for 12-month health coverage for moms after childbirth.

It's key to preventing maternal deaths AND supporting healthy infants & toddlers.

Let's do it this #TXlege session! #TXPN3 https://t.co/MR86ZWTb8s
