@Under3DC wants every councilmember to support the #childcare Pay Equity Fund emergency legislation that the @CouncilofDC 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

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 @dccouncilbudget @councilofdc @ChmnMendelson

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.
Thank you @CMZParker5 for your commitment to righting this wrong! We appreciate it! #Under3DC

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

Despite calling for “shared sacrifice” in a time of budget constraints, @MayorBowser's proposed FY25 budget demands the biggest sacrifices from DC’s lowest income residents while prioritizing the wealthiest businesses.

.@Under3DC delivered a postcard today from Bava, a constituent (and former neighbor) of @AnitaBondsDC! They asked the CM to reverse all cuts to child care. They have a child in @CommuniKidsPS who might lose their favorite early educator due to pay cuts. #DefendPEF #WashingtonDC

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