Our youngest learners are negatively impacted by constant teacher and staff turnover due to the chronic public underfunding of early childhood education programs. #Childcare and #Prek educators deserve #WorthyWages! Today is #WorthyWageDay—retweet to show your support. 
Since 1992, individuals, organizations and educators have come together around May 1st to fight for #worthywages for #ChildCare and #PreK educators. Why are we fighting for the same thing 30 years later? #SolveChildCare
#Childcare workers continue to be one of the lowest-paid occupations nationwide. #PreK teachers and #ChildCare and #PreK directors are also subject to low wages #WorthyWages #SolveChildCare cscce.berkeley.edu/workforce-inde… @CSCCEUCB

@AlecGarnett says HB22-1295 will bridge fragmented programs to create seamless #earlychildhood experiences for all #Colorado families.
It will save parents money, enroll more kids in the high-quality programs that we know work, all while being easy to access.#COleg

@EmilyForCO -- "The quality of a child’s early experiences can either positively or negatively impact their life outcomes."
Current #earlychildhood programs are spread across different departments with different eligibility requirements and funding streams. #COleg

One of @FLOTUS Jill Biden's guests for tonight's #SOTU will be Kezia Rodriguez, a mom of twin toddlers and a student at Bergen Community College, who is able to pursue an associate’s degree thanks to quality, affordable #childcare access. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
News reports indicate @POTUS "will lay out specific practical measures that would reduce costs for families right now, including prescription drug costs and health care premiums, #childcare costs and energy costs."

In this exploratory mixed method study, we asked 179 current/former regulated #familychildcare educators (FCCEs) across 4 states (CA, FL, MA, WI) about their experiences entering, staying in, and/or leaving the field, and we learned A LOT. (2/n)
ON LEAVING: 30 former FCCEs (small N, exploratory!) shared intersecting challenges w/ systems, economics, working conditions, & personal factors that contributed to their decisions to close their businesses (pre-COVID). Most mentioned at least 2/3 of the core challenges. (3/n)
The Unity Task Force set #democratic policy & legislative goals on #ClimateChange, healthcare, the economy & #jobs, criminal justice, education, & #immigration. vox.com/21317850/joe-b…
@AOC & @JohnKerry chaired Unity Task Force on the #ClimateCrisis. It set a national goal of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions for all new buildings by 2030 & eliminating carbon pollution from power plants by 2035, in addition to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
"I think we actually made far more progress than I think I even anticipated,” Sunrise Movement co-founder Varshini Prakash told Vox, because many of the advisers on #ClimateChange nominated by #Biden were "equally amenable to ambitious action as many people on the #Bernie side.”
#Biden has "outlined a suite of policies that, taken on their own terms, would be the most ambitious governing agenda of any modern #Democrat." If he wins, he'll be the "the most #progressive Democratic nominee in history." vox.com/2020/1/29/2107…
#Biden is "notably to the left" of #Hillary, #Obama, #Kerry & is advancing a #progressive platform. On #healthcare, his proposal for a public option would be a "significant expansion" of the #ACA & includes "expanded subsidies well into the middle class." reason.com/2020/03/04/joe…
#Biden has proposed a $1.7 trillion #ClimateChange plan "similar in scope to many candidates on his left." He has a $750 billion #education plan that includes increases to #teacher salaries & expanded access to #PreK. @reason 3/4/20
