.@JVuWong and @First5CA affirm our north star should be to create a safe, stable, nurturing environment for all children. She reminds us that local leaders matter and urges attendees to make their voices heard at the local level. #LEARNwithZTT

We were thrilled to join @First5CA @JenSiebelNewsom @DrDianaRamosMD and others last week at the launch of the #StrongerStarts campaign at the @SacramentoZoo to build awareness about the impact of toxic stress response on California families with children ages 0-5. #ACESAware

Today is a historic moment as we embark upon an exciting journey to expand Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library across California, a wonderful bilingual reading program that will inspire the minds of our youngest learners.
I am honored to have authored this impactful legislation that will ignite the love for family reading, improve academic performance and have a positive impact on our children for generations to come.
Thank you to Senate Pro Tem Toni Atkins for co-authoring this exciting legislation and to the Dolly Parton Foundation for this amazing program.
Find more information about the program and how to sign your child up if they are eligible. → bit.ly/3OCh0MS
