Join @sfececoalition and educators and families tomorrow (June 6) at 3PM At City Hall to make a public comment protesting these proposals. If we don't #SpeakNow, it will be like we have never spoken.

San Francisco’s budget is expected to reach $14.6 billion for each of the next two fiscal years, creating a two-year deficit of about $780 million.

These cuts threaten a crucial goal: expanding access to childcare and preschool that would improve early childhood outcomes, especially for children in communities of color that are farthest from opportunity.

Another @SFBART delay. My third in three trips. And nope, it’s not my imagination. #bartdelay https://t.co/c59BNSeqSg

My colleague Ruth Fernandez at @First5CoCo and I wrote this @EdSource commentary urging Congress to not forget about children and families.

[EdSource @EdSource]

OPINION: President @JoeBiden originally proposed $400 billion for early child care and preschool in#BuildBackBetter. We call on the Biden administration and Congress to pick up where the Inflation Reduction Act left off. #EarlyEducation #childcare

@annehelen I got divorced and moved thousands of miles to another continent to start a PhD program and a new life. So grateful that I was able to. I found myself and it turns out I’m AWESOME. I’d never have learned that if I’d stayed in my marriage.

@VoltarCH I went from (quasi) academia to the nonprofit sector and after 3 years, I have many similar takeaways. Thanks for sharing!

[Savitha Moorthy @smoorthy]

@joshtpm Dumb luck?

[Savitha Moorthy @smoorthy]

Also, I have no idea what forms L-1 and L-2 are.

[Savitha Moorthy @smoorthy]

A day in the glamorous life of a nonprofit ED: making multiple calls to local gov't to explain why a contract requiring a digital portion, two sets of signature and notary pages, and forms L-1 and L-2 is excessive. Especially when our services come at no cost. #bureaucracy

The events of the last few weeks have left me feeling like the world is imploding. The SCOTUS decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is a devastating blow not only to Americans who are or might become pregnant but also to children, families, and communities.

Reproductive justice is critical for the well-being of our communities now and in the future. Read Tandem's response to the Dobbs ruling on our blog. https://t.co/adb516AQn7

Excited for this partnership with @kpnorcal and @eatlearnplay to promote early literacy and language development #ReadAcrossAmericaDay

[Tandem, Partners In Early Learning @Tandem_BayArea]

We’ve launched a fun reading resource hub for preschoolers with @kpnorcal & @eatlearnplay. Together you can hear “You Matter” read by special guests, register for a free copy of the book & learn how to make a book of your own. https://t.co/eo5NT6OSfj #ReadAcossAmericaDay

@penton_maggie I just ordered 6 boxes from my niece. I’m in too.

[Savitha Moorthy @smoorthy]

@dtothetk Yes…and, let’s also reimagine and design school so it’s more aligned with learning. If we’re going to ask kids to spend so much time in school, it’s the least they deserve.

[Savitha Moorthy @smoorthy]

@nkybeth @santoro_sal @SenatorSchickel This resonates! I’ve been trying to lobby our school district to increase the number of volunteers who can help with things like gate duty and yard duty, and it’s been harder than you’d think.
