It’s today. DC Council votes on the FY26 budget. This is the moment to demand full funding for child care subsidies and the Pay Equity Fund. These are not extras—they are essential for 6,800 families and for DC’s workforce. Speak out: docs.google.com/document/d/1BK…
Behind every child’s success is an early educator. DC’s Pay Equity Fund grew the early ed workforce by 7% and returns 23% on every dollar invested. But it’s still $10M short. Demand full funding in FY26. Toolkit: docs.google.com/document/d/1BK…
Underfunding child care is costing DC over $395M each year—in lost wages, productivity, and tax revenue. At-large CMs @CMCHenderson @AnitaBondsDC and @kenyanmcduffie must fully fund subsidies and the Pay Equity Fund in FY26. Speak out today: docs.google.com/document/d/1BK…
DC families need us to speak up. The 1st budget vote is this Monday! We’re calling on @ChmnMendelson and DC Council to fully fund subsidies and the Pay Equity Fund in the FY26 budget. Download the toolkit (link in bio) to call, email, or post your story. #DCBudget #DCAEYC
