🚨BREAKING🚨 #CCPUCalifornia has reached a tentative agreement w/the State of California that protects benefits, wins stabilization pay, & ongoing cost-of-living adjustments, helping keep child care doors open by starting to stem the loss of skilled providers created by low pay.

.@DrLaWandaWesley @CCRC4KIDS tells @SenatorMenjivar @GeneralRoth:
The #CAbudget #CAleg must immediately implement real #ChildCare rate reform to pay this field - largely women of color - the living wage they deserve. We must pay for the #TrueCostOfCare & achieve #PayEquityNow

Child care is 📣essential work📣! California must pay us for the full cost of what it takes to provide care! Fair pay means we can keep our doors open for families who need it the most.

SF working families can't afford to lose their housing, food, and child care all at once due to the Mayor's budget cuts. Our tenants, workers, & kids deserve an #SFPeoplesBudget that invests in long-term solutions! #StopCEOPCuts #SFLoveUsBack

CSCCE's @CaitCMcLean reminds us of the harsh truth in this in-depth @nytimes piece: pandemic relief is a band-aid on a system that was already failing pre-pandemic. With record funding set to end soon, what happens next? #ChildCareCrisis #PandemicRelief

Our child care sector is essential to the recovery of #OurEconomy, and yet is on the brink of crisis. We have built our budgets on the backs of babies and the low-income women of color who cared for them for too long. #ProtectBabyPropC

This is an excellent op-ed by #ECE teacher and @TeachPlusPA fellow Lyssa Horvath and it is not getting enough attention! Please share. And then go tell someone about it🙂
What happens when you don't pay early chilfhood educators? Empty classrooms, overworked teachers, and mothers leaving the workforce.

We are ready for public comment! We should not be changing a voter passed ordinance without a full length community engagement process! Mayor @LondonBreed chose not to do that so we brought the people to you! We’re here!
@Ahsha_Safai @RafaelMandelman @ECEofSF @SFCPAC
Wow! Wow! Wow! We had 400+ community members come to City Hall to speak out against Mayor @LondonBreed ‘s attempt to redirect $150 million away child care! Thank you to EVERYONE that made your voices heard today!
