The early childhood workforce is a top priority for communities, advocates, and @NewMexicoECECD. How can we make sure providers are paid a fair wage and have accessible onramps into the profession? #ece #nmleg @NMVoices @OLENewMexico @Somosunpueblo @PCA_NM

Proud to be at @GovMLG’s Early Childhood Summit. So much to celebrate about New Mexico’s advances in #ece and so much great work ahead! @OLENewMexico @nmasianfamily @ELCENTRO_NM @Somosunpueblo @PCA_NM @NgageNM @NMVoices @civicpolicy @StJoesChildren @NewMexicoECECD

#NM is referenced as a resource for how to do child care assistance right in this report by our colleagues at @PolicyMattersOH. A big thanks to @GovMLG, #NMleg, and voters like you who helped make our child care success happen! policymattersohio.org/research-polic…

We’ve dreamed big here in New Mexico and made great things happen for our youngest kids. Let’s keep going!

Good afternoon NM! Today we are awaiting the hearing on SB3 - Paid Family & Medical Leave Act, Senate version of HB6. So far looks like members of @NMSenateGOP are hiding out, disrupting legislative process, and working against the interest of New Mexicans 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ #nmpol #nmleg

Immigrant & Worker's Day of Action 2024 is underway! Going to Roundhouse to advocate for more $ for workforce development programs. Somos Accionistas are joined by our friends from @ELCENTRO_NM, @PCA_NM & @CafeAccion. #nmpol #nmleg

I was honored to speak on the importance of paid family medical leave to a a strong #earlychildhood system in New Mexico. We’ve become a leader in child care, let’s write the next chapter for child wellbeing and pass #pfml ! @NMVoices @nmpfml #nmleg

Starting the week in Santa Fe with advocates and community members energized for paid family leave in New Mexico— join @nmpfml at #nmleg to learn more and be a part of this historic legislation!

We know that paid family & medical leave is good for child outcomes, but it’s also good for business. Small businesses want the best for their employees and are supporting paid leave this upcoming session. santafenewmexican.com/opinion/my_vie…

New Mexico voters & @javierfornm and @moemaestasnm deserve big credit for “converting money into brain development” by making more funding available for #homevisiting and #ECE Thank you @stjoeschildren & #nmleg for your boldness and vision for the future of our youngest kids!

New Mexico has gone all in funding #homevisiting (thank you @newmexicoececd and #nmleg! ) but funding is just one piece. Professional development & capacity building are key! @stjoeschildren is leading the way with their new HV Hub.

Join @NMVoices, @elcentro_nm, @dreamsaction_nm, and @OLENewMexico this afternoon for a panel discussion of the exciting advocacy victories in early childhood care and education in New Mexico, hosted by @CLASP_DC us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

New Mexico has gone big on #ece recently—including a voter-approved constitutional amendment—and we're now seeing results that will last a lifetime for our kids, families and communities! #ece #nmleg santafenewmexican.com/news/education…

@shantr0n this is so cool thank you for sharing this!

Communities of color are imagining a future for New Mexico where our state budget & economy aren't dependent on fossil fuels and the impacts of climate change are addressed in bold ways. @Power4NewMexico santafenewmexican.com/opinion/my_vie…

"The Albuquerque City Council has the opportunity to address this underlying barrier to better housing policies by passing O-22-59, which proposes a simple solution: create a rental database."- @DivyaShivNM @NMVoices abqjournal.com/2594547/albuqu…

Today was an amazing day for kids in NM, who will have free, healthy, & locally grown breakfast & lunch available at school. So proud & so thankful for the leadership of @GovMLG, @SenPadilla, Sen. @LeoJara36530274 & all of #nmleg get this done! #nmpol
