The fight against the Mayor’s move to defund DC child care and gut wages for early childhood educators is on. #ProtectPEF

Despite calling for “shared sacrifice” in a time of budget constraints, Mayor Muriel Bowser's proposed FY25 budget demands the biggest sacrifices from DC’s lowest income residents while prioritizing the wealthiest businesses. dcfpi.org/all/unshared-s…

Support Pay Equity for Early Childhood Educators. Here's what you can do - let the DC Council hear you! Under 3 DC

CentroNía community 📢📢 We & Under 3 DC need your help! The Mayor of DC has proposed cutting funding for childcare, this could affect many #earlychildhoodeducators like our own! Help us by telling the DC Council to stop these proposed cuts! Read the flyer below for more info!

.Under 3 DC delivered a postcard today from Bava, a constituent (and former neighbor) of Anita Bonds! They asked the CM to reverse all cuts to child care. They have a child in CommuniKids who might lose their favorite early educator due to pay cuts. #DefendPEF #WashingtonDC

“It’s time for the wealthy to pay their fair share… #WashingtonDC should be taxing capital gains… and multi-million $ homes… now THAT would be fair.” -Anne Gunderson, Policy Analyst, DCFPI

I’m not just standing in solidarity with our early childhood educators, but I'm in the fight — for our children, our educators, and our families. I'm moved by the sea of people in front of the Wilson Building calling on the Council to protect this program.

Pay equity isn’t the only thing on the dais today @CouncilofDC. Insufficient language access is too. Roughly half of today's hearing attendees are Spanish-speaking and language accommodations are nonexistent. Language access in #childcare is critical for racial justice. #Under3DC

youtu.be/aS3GQ-rxOOE?si… If we don't act, we all lose. The Mayor cut the PEF. The council is suggesting partial funding. Early childhood educators and the families and children deserve the full restoration of the funds. @FundPEF DC Council Budget Office Council of DC Phil Mendelson

Under 3 DC wants every councilmember to support the #childcare Pay Equity Fund emergency legislation that the Council of DC will vote on Tuesday. ✨✨✨ It limits educator pay cuts as much as possible and prioritizes equity. But educator pay cuts should never have happened. 1/2

We are proud to have supported and testified on behalf of this act lead by AHA Greater Wash
