Many thanks to leaders including @govmlg, @Egroginsky, State Rep. Javier Martínez, @NathanLCNM, and State Rep. Meredith Dixon who helped make this vision a reality. #nmpol

Great news! New Mexico made history as the first state to make universal child care law.🎉 Huge congratulations to all the advocates, educators, and community members who worked for over a decade to make this possible. bit.ly/4uEimcz

As the leg session ends in Washington State, we’re celebrating big wins! Lawmakers passed new funding for early learning through the Millionaire’s Tax & rejected a harmful proposal to cap the child care assistance program. Thanks to advocates & partners who made it happen!

Did you know the McGovern-Dole Food for Education is one of the world's most effective hunger-fighting programs? McGovern-Dole feeds kids, keeps them in school, and boosts learning. We must urge Congress to keep this life-changing program strong! bit.ly/3Nweolp

As escalations intensify across the #MiddleEast and wider region, children face fear, displacement and uncertainty about their future. At least 100M children across the region are at immediate risk. Our teams are responding to support children’s safety, health, and well-being.

1 in 5 children in rural America is facing hunger. This National School Breakfast Week, we're advocating for nutrition programs that help kids learn and grow – in the classroom AND at home. Take action today! bit.ly/46H7EHV

Child care keeps Washington working, but proposed cuts will limit families access to care. We join partners across the state in urging the Legislature to reject child care cuts and invest in kids and working families. Read more in @SpokesmanReview👇 bit.ly/4qWQq0q

Lawmakers also included robust funding that will boost early educator wages and career pathways, ensuring universal child care is sustainable for years to come. Thank you to our coalition partners such as @nmvoices, @nmasianfamily & many others who helped make this possible!

Big news from New Mexico 🎉 As the legislative session wraps, we are celebrating  the passage of universal #childcare that includes a wage and career ladder framework for early educators! #nmpol

Thank you @SenatorCollins for highlighting the urgent need to strengthen child care in rural communities during yesterday’s HELP Committee hearing. Continued support for federal #childcare programs is essential so families everywhere can access quality, affordable care.

TSU’s Department of Human Sciences partnered with @SCActionNetwork for Have a Heart on Feb. 11 in the Student Center. Students wrote 100 postcards supporting early childhood education that will reach 32 federal legislators and 3 state legislators. 🐅 #HaveAHeart

Thank you @SenBillCassidy & @SenatorHick for highlighting the importance of federally funded child care at the Senate HELP Committee hearing. Continued investment in the Child Care Development Fund is essential so children and families can access high-quality, affordable care.

33 million people in #Sudan are in need of urgent support. Children face hunger, limited healthcare and disrupted education. Our colleague Stephanie visited @SavetheChildren programs and saw the scale of need and the impact of action. Read the story.👇 bit.ly/404KJ5k

#Sudan is facing one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. 17 million children are at risk of danger, hunger and disease. Our leaders can protect these children and prevent further atrocities…if they act NOW. Send a message today. 👇 bit.ly/3O0FqBv

All month long, we're advocating to protect kids and the early learning opportunities they need to succeed. That means passing legislation like the Child Care Modernization Act (CCMA). Take action today and #InvestInKids! 👉 bit.ly/3M1P6ei

Every #Valentine’s season, we mobilize our advocates nationwide to urge lawmakers to put children first. This year, our message to urge Congress is to pass the Child Care Modernization Act and invest in early learning. Learn how you can #InvestInKids! 🏹 bit.ly/4rmPZgp

This morning, 150+ early educators, child care providers, and advocates rallied at the Roundhouse for a wage and career ladder to support universal child care! Workers are the backbone of NM’s bold policy, and their input will make it stable and long lasting. #nmpol #nmleg

When families can afford #childcare, communities thrive. This #tax season, new tax credits and savings programs can help families afford child care, stay in the workforce, and build stability. @SavetheChildren Head of Policy shares more. 👇 bit.ly/3O9GbI8

We agree with @GovMLG that investments in NM’s youngest kids equal generational opportunity. We look forward to working with the legislature and @NewMexicoECECD this session to help make universal #childcare sustainable for the generations to come. bit.ly/3NvBTe2

The Child Care and Development Block Grant helps over a million families afford high-quality child care. Right now, Congress is deciding on how much funding it will receive. Urge lawmakers TODAY to invest in #childcare! bit.ly/4b9XItx #CCDBG
