Dear Jessica,
Last week over a thousand educators across Connecticut banded together for a “Morning Without Child Care,” to urge the state to invest $700 million into our child care system. All Our Kin educators, staff and local community members were out in full force as speakers and organizers. There is no doubt that the Governor and lawmakers took notice: news coverage was widespread, and our message came through loud and clear! You can catch some of the great media coverage up on our press center page.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the events, supported across social media, and/or signed the solidarity letter to your lawmaker — every action moves the needle forward. We’re proud to stand alongside advocates like you, pushing for change every day.
If you’re interested in ways to get involved locally, check out some upcoming opportunities in this week’s newsletter.
We continue to stand with you in love and solidarity.
The All Our Kin Team
