ZERO TO THREE

Now more than ever, children need champions — educators who advocate, caregivers who nurture, and leaders who refuse to let politics dictate a child’s future. At the LEARN Conference 2025, we come together to shape early childhood: bit.ly/3EBDXwE #LEARNwithZTT

Child care shouldn’t cost more than college. Or pay less than minimum wage. Families can’t afford it. Centers are struggling to stay open. Early childhood educators deserve better.

Huge thanks to @PattyMurray, @BobbyScott, and @RepSummerLee for your leadership on the Child Care for Working Families Act. Babies and families need bold champions like you fighting for affordable, high-quality #childcare for all. #ThinkBabies

A nation’s promise lives in its youngest. Every parent wants their baby to grow up healthy and supported. Even in tough times, we can’t lose sight of our impact or chance to rebuild. This Independence Day, let’s shape a country where every baby thrives. Keep that promise strong.

Thank you @RepBrianFitz for standing up for babies like Savanna and voting to protect Medicaid, SNAP & other vital supports. The bill passed, but your vote reminds us we have champions for families and hope for a better path ahead.

FACT: Medicaid covers almost half of all children with special health care needs. FACT: Medicaid is the only source of coverage for nearly 4 in 10 children with special health care needs. Babies need care, not cuts. Your reps need to hear from you. CALL today.

The Senate voted today to pass the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," which will remove health care coverage from 17 million people and access to food from millions more. The bill is moving to the House. Urge your Congress members to reject these cuts: thinkbabies.org/medicaid

FACT: 4.5 million children ages 0-4 years old participate in SNAP. FACT: Nearly 62% of SNAP participants are in families with children. FACT: In 2023 nearly 14 million children (that's 1 in 5 children) in the US faced hunger.

"My son Eli came to me through Oklahoma’s foster care system. He was born w/ a congenital heart defect that required three open-heart surgeries.. He’s also neurodiverse and needs support from multiple specialists....love alone doesn’t meet medical needs or cover therapy bills."

Call your Senators. Call your Senators. Call your Senators. Call your Senators. Call your Senators. There is still time to make a difference before they vote. Food. Healthcare. Stability. Call your Senator NOW and tell them: babies need support, not cuts.
