@Under3DC
Our coalition lifts the voices and power of the community to advocate for more public investment to support families with infants and toddlers.
- It's official! The DC Council just voted on emergency legislation that would provide early educators with pay supplements that are a step on the road to fair compensation for the early learning community! #SolveChildCare #BuildBackBetter
GIF - 🚨BREAKING: DC early educators working in-person for licensed providers can book an appt for the #CovidVaccine beginning Monday, Feb 1 at noon! #ChildCareIsEssentialWith @_DCHealth and @OSSEDC, we're announcing that beginning Monday, February 1 at noon, individuals who work in-person for a licensed child care provider or independent school located in the District will be eligible to book a vaccination appointment with One Medical.
- ‘This is pay you have EARNED! You have worked hard, you have given everything to DC’s kids, and no politician can take away what you deserve’ That’s why our community is out to fight shameful budget cuts. THE PEOPLE, UNITED, WILL NEVER BE DEFEATED!
- The first graduates of the @udc_edu bilingual associate of arts degree in education cheered at an event Saturday. #washingtondc #childcare @TaraBahrampour washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/… #Under3DC
- During an already difficult work shortage, it's critical that fair compensation becomes a priority. The strong, equitable, high-quality early learning system our littlest Washingtonians deserve can’t exist without a healthy, well-supported workforce. #ChildCareIsEssential
- Thank you to our #childcare champions for voting in favor of our early childhood educators' pay + benefits. Your support for a #justrecoveryDC reiterates that #ChildCareIsEssential! We appreciate your dedication to DC's youngest and hope this momentum continues on Aug. 3!
- We are grateful to see @ChmnMendelson and @councilofdc reverse @MayorBowser's elimination of the Early Childhood Educator Pay Equity Fund by restoring $70 million to the program for the 2025 fiscal year. 1/4
- ‘Early education is a job we do from the heart, not for our pockets. And we have been patient with our pay but if our pay is cut, we won’t be patient anymore and DC’s classrooms will be empty.’ @MayorBowser @councilofdc & DC CFO you’re on notice to restore the Pay Equity Fund!
- Just as she did with her @dclinenews op-ed, @CMLewisGeorgeW4 continues to voice her full support for the Pay Equity Fund, stating that the @councilofdc must keep its promise to #childcare teachers and #washingtondc families. #Under3DC
