Yet another perfect example of how this country continues to pass NEW policies right NOW that perpetuate gender and racial inequities. Fixing the system needs to be about both dismantling historical injustices & prioritizing the most marginalized now.

ICYMI— I recently said farewell to my amazing colleagues at @amprog after an exciting/challenging 2.5 yrs. So grateful for everything I learned & the ECE community.
Today I joined @finhealthnet where I’ll be working to advance systemic solutions that promote #finhealth for all!
On this #providerappreciationday I’m especially grateful for my PreK4 teacher, Mrs. Hawkins. She’s played an instrumental role shaping me and still to this day lends a thoughtful and supportive ear when I need it.
The lack of investment in the care industry has meant that #childcare workers & early educators are significantly underpaid, despite doing the crucial work of caring for our children. Tell Congress to support these essential workers & #SolveChildCare https://t.co/QNJ7oFdHqN
Loving how @timkaine is ticking off all the things that all the witnesses agree on: that we should use reconciliation to #SolveChildCare; that a greater investment in high quality #childcare is good and necessary for children, educators, businesses and our economy.
Still mad about that time MOCs (including a Senator from my home state) sold stocks based on privileged tea about COVID before the public knew.
And then nothing happened and they still get to influence policies that determine the basic economic security of millions of people 🙃
New report! #ARPA did what it was supposed to do— address the emergency child care crisis caused by covid. But long-standing child care problems require long-term solutions. #SolveChildCare
The American Rescue Plan was pivotal for providers and families -- but we cannot let the momentum die now. Americans need a real solution to #SolveChildCare Read more in our new report out today.
