Initiative 2109 cut hundreds of millions from the children who need it most. There are only about 4000 Washingtonians who pay this capital gains tax - the very richest. Please vote no on 2109. #NoOn2109

.@WSAHSECEAP provides vital funding for Head Start programs throughout the #SouthSound. I will always advocate for more education opportunities for families.
ECEAP Director Jodi Wall lays out why staff compensation is so critical: “When kids are able to go through our programs, the impact is enormous. But we don’t have all our classrooms open because we don’t have enough staff. clbn.us/AjER1 #ece #waleg
Two fabulous ECEAP directors testified yesterday at the House Children, Youth and Families Committee about workforce challenges faced by ECEAP and other #ece programs across the state. bit.ly/testimony120122 #waelex #waleg
Thanks to the support of the @WSAHSECEAP @SeattlePreK @waDCYF @CityofSeattle subsidy programs, and our families and communities, 81 children finished their final year of preschool at our José Martí Child Development Center and are ready for Kindergarten! Felicidades!

Thousands of WA’s most in-need families are struggling to get their children into an #EarlyLearning program, and a big part of the problem is the same thing hitting other economic sectors — a lack of available workers. ow.ly/GQJv50JnsKi @jeanjeanielindz @WSAHSECEAP @waDCYF
I started my career in politics as a parent advocate fighting to save my local preschool program. I know firsthand how important the work parent advocates like @WSAHSECEAP are doing in WA state. I'm doing everything I can to support you and get my child care plan passed.

"By blocking new funding for the #HeadStart workforce, they will essentially be casting a vote to [deny] thousands of children the opportunity to be ready for kindergarten." Strong words from @WSAHSECEAP. Read the full op/ed ⬇️ sanjuanjournal.com/life/head-star…
