People have asked how you can help support Q's family and legacy.
We have set up TWO funds:
The first at @LibertyBank_CT helps his wife Carrissa with immediate needs.
The second, the Q Fund, is a 501(c)3 fund we are establishing at the Middlesex County Community Foundation.

"An equitable, high-quality early childhood system will benefit all of Connecticut’s residents and our economic recovery," writes Allyx Schiavone of @childcareforct.
"We cannot afford to wait."

[2/3] Remember: you DON'T have to attend the school you pick up meals from; you DON'T need to qualify for any gov't assistance to receive meals; & you will NOT be depriving others of meals; there are plenty to go around thanks to USDA funding! A win-win for your family & school!

[1/3] Did you know that when you pick up school meals at schools across the state, they are absolutely free to you and help the district financially? In order to receive reimbursement from USDA, schools must serve a certain number of meals. nhregister.com/news/article/…

We've discussed why indoor air safety is important, learned ways we can clean our air and now on to how to *actually* implement M.A.D. guidelines for different kinds of workplaces with @MaritzaSf from @ALIGNny, Izzi Greenberg @mxchildren, and @claraws718 with @NailTechsUnited.

A study from Korea showing why indoor dining is unsafe and why airborne transmission matters. Case B infected case A from 6.5m (~21 feet!) away in *just five minutes*, and case C from 4.8m (15 feet!). Footage shows no interaction—and only those in line of air flow got infected.

The economy does not get back on track without the child care that working families need. Child Care needs at least $50B to continue to serve families, and that #ReliefCantWait. #ThinkBabies #SaveChildCare bit.ly/2OVfrcV

If the child care industry doesn't get substantially more funding soon, we may not be there to support parents and the economy during reopening and recovery. Congress, ensure at least $50 billion for child care is included in the COVID-19 relief package. #SaveChildCare

If Congress doesn’t provide necessary relief for the child care industry, 4.5 million child care slots are at risk of disappearing. @SenSherrodBrown @senrobportman @RepSteveStivers @RepBeatty @RepBalderson, vote for COVID relief with $50B to #SaveChildCare.
MCC retweeted
Only $10 billion for child care, a fraction of the <$50B needed to merely stabilize the child care sector.
A reminder to Congress: There will be no economic recovery without child care.

Providers, families and advocates continue to demonstrate that the #childcare industry is critical for families and our economy. Congress will you prioritize a COVID relief package that includes at least $50B to #SaveChildCare right now?

Child care is a workforce issue AND a child development issue that transcends political party labels. #savechildcare #childcarerelief
Every single pandemic relief bill thus far – from both Democrats and Republicans – has included funding for child care providers. But before they adjourn for the year, Congress must finish their job and pass critical relief funding to #SaveChildCare. ffyf.org/timeline-of-covid-1…
