Oh! The benefits of clean air are numerous! From helping to mitigate the spread of airborne pathogens to relief from allergens to improved academic performance. #TheKidsAreWorthIt #InvestInAir #InvestInKids #WeShareTheAir #ProtectNotInfect

There are 11.4 Million infants and toddlers in the U.S. and they need us to change more than just diapers. What better way to celebrate #NationalBabyDay than to prioritize their needs. ZERO TO THREE

Today was a big day for Minnesota's future childcare system. A bill just sailed off the House floor that raised CCAP rates and stabilized child care grants. The field of early childhood education and care is having an exciting year. Let's #InvestInKids together. Thx Dave Pinto

Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch I think you meant to say,

Take it from my almost 2 year old: early care IS education! Funding for programs for infants and toddlers grows brains and develops socially, emotionally intelligent humans. #fundececd #nmleg #investinkids

A budget that puts America first would first and foremost invest in our nation’s children. #InvestInKids

I’m so proud to share a Senate District with ⁦Cheryl Youakim⁩ who has put together a historic education finance bill, to address chronic underfunding & ensure stable funding going forward by tying formula increases to inflation. #mnleg #InvestInKids

My friends think I'm rich (I'm not) because I invest in startups. But really I just read CROWDSCALE and they send me interesting startups in their free newsletter that anyone can invest in with as little as $100.

Illinois Invest in Kids vouchers siphon away PUBLIC funding from PUBLIC schools that serve 1.9M children across the state. Today, 80% of IL public schools are NOT adequately funded! 🧵

93% of Millennials and Gen Z ONLY impact invest.

Meaning they only invest in companies that bring social or environmental impact.

Stats that back movements are telling…

It passed! Congrats to folks in Illinois who recognize the importance of clean air in schools. This will be a game changer. Come on, Ontario! Let's not fall behind. Let's do this!

Budget 2023 delivers on healthcare, dental supports, and clean economy. Kids are not receiving the catalytic investment & strategy needed to support their development: childrenfirstcanada.org/featured/child…

Children & youth are 1/4 of our population & 100% of our future 🇨🇦

Investments to improve the health & wellbeing of kids pay huge social & economic dividends for all Canadians!

While #Budget2023 makes some headway, much more is needed!
