It is so quick and easy to complete the #2020Census. If not for yourself, do it for the thousands of kids who will benefit from the programs and services that are funded based on Census data.

It’s time to take child care seriously. It’s the key to a successful reopening and recovery. Took me 5 min to call Senator Pat Roberts & Senator Jerry Moran to ask them to pass at least $50B in funding to #SaveChildCare . (202) 224-3121. Save that # in your 📱 for later, you're gonna need it.

In the midst of so much hurt and heartache around us, I am wishing my friends health, happiness, and peace in the year ahead. Shanah tovah!

I couldn’t agree more with Kathleen Sebelius about “why Reggie Robinson should be a household name in Kansas” kansasreflector.com/2020/09/25/why… via Kansas Reflector || bsky @kansasreflector.com

Happy to get moving outside in support of NBCCDC’s Family 101 5k! #LETSMOVEWYCO

I'm at a loss for words, but not for emotions. I'm enraged and so sad. This is white supremacy and privilege of full display-that these terrorists weren't met with immediate and decisive action by law enforcement is an atrocity. Shame on leaders who laid the groundwork for this.

We’re bringing together business leaders, faith communities, healthcare professionals, parents, educators, & non-profits to improve the well-being of kids. If you have a ❤️ for kids, there is a 🏠 for you in the Kansas Children’s Agenda. Join us at tinyurl.com/y2xhm6qr #ksleg

Eager to tweet your own "personal news" update about a new job? KAC is hiring a fiscal policy analyst! Now's the time to use your research, analysis, & writing skills to improve the well-being of kids, strengthen families & advance racial equity. kac.org/work_at_kac

A bipartisan group of lawmakers has formed to promote and model civility in the #ksleg. I think they need more members. Can you take 5 min to write/call your representative & senator, and ask them to get involved if they aren't already? Find them at ksleglookup.org

Factors that determine at-risk are often beyond the control of the school. Poverty, trauma, poor health, & racism are among the risk factors kids face as they learn. HB2119 does 0⃣ to address these. Sadly the #ksleg is ignoring the bills that would actually improve the situation.

SB55 targets a small number of children & their families to score ideological points. The lives and worth of trans youth should not be up for debate. This kind of legislative harassment is wrong, the bill is despicable, & it should not become law. #ksleg🏳️‍⚧️

The American Rescue Plan is a historic opportunity for KS to invest in a just economic recovery that could leave our communities better off than they were before. kansasreflector.com/2021/04/11/how… via Kansas Reflector || bsky @kansasreflector.com

We’re standing on the edge of a transformational moment for children. With a single vote from the U.S. Congress, we could more than halve childhood poverty in this state and set up tens of thousands of children for lifetimes of success. #ChildTaxCredit kansasreflector.com/2021/08/03/exp…

Ending the state sales tax on food is a great idea we can finally afford. It wouldn't be possible w/o Democrats & Republicans working together in 2017 to put KS on the road to financial recovery. Let's bring back that bipartisanship to pass this tax cut for all Kansans. #ksleg

The #BuildBackBetterAct would save KS parents thousands of dollars in #childcare expenses each year. It will raise salaries for early childhood educators & provide stability across care settings--centers, homes, faith-based programs, schools & Head Starts.

Hearing #ksleg express concern for getting folks back to work. About 7% of KS households reported not working due to lack of child care. That’s 80,000🏠s. Where is the urgency to address this crisis for parents, especially women who often leave workforce to care for children?

Parents can't afford to pay more for child care, and providers can't afford to make less. I'll explain this dynamic tonight on Ballots & Brews. Listen until the end to learn what the #ksleg can do to help make child care more affordable for Kansas families.

This is a huge win for families, child care providers, and anyone who buys groceries in Kansas!
