When we #ThinkBabies and help parents support their healthy development, we create a better future for all of us – higher graduation rates, more employment, and healthier lives.
We must make the potential of #babies a national priority.

A lack of #support and #policy have a devastating impact on mothers and their children during the #fourthtrimester.
"If this is not a call to action, I don't know what is," says Adrienne Griffen, ED of @MMHLA2.

"Infants & toddlers also experience separation and loss, but their needs can be overlooked when caring adults ... assume that children will not remember this time. Yet the young are the most vulnerable."

“We cannot simply vote on this package and call it a day,” Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) said of the lack of #childcare considerations in the Inflation Reduction Act. “Our child care system isn’t just stretched thin; it is broken.”

#MomsRisingWA members are activating to ensure families are aware of new #childcare benefits. Many families became newly eligible for benefits thanks to the passage of the bipartisan Fair Start for Kids Act. #PerigeeFund #granteenews @MomsRising prnewswire.com/news-releases…
The federal Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood #HomeVisiting (MIECHV) program is set to expire Sept 30. Tell your lawmakers to increase #MIECHV funding and expand the program to help support more babies, families & providers. #PerigeeFund @StartEarlyorg startearly.quorum.us/campaig…
From @thehill: Children of mothers exposed to the traumatic stress of Hurricane Sandy in 2012 were significantly more likely to develop anxiety and depression disorders than other children.

One Hundred! That’s how many times communities have come together to trust in people with a #guaranteedincome. @EconomicSecProj #GBI #familysupports

Since 2017, the movement for a #guaranteedincome has flourished, producing 100 pilot programs nationwide. Here in WA, #HummingbirdIFS continues to develop a #GBI pilot designed to provide support & services to Indigenous families birthing in King County. #PerigeeFund
The pilots have shifted what is possible, paving the way for the expansion of the Child Tax Credit under the American Rescue Plan Act. RSVP for the #GuaranteedIncome Now livestream w/@BerniceKing and @MichaelDTubbs to find out what’s next. economicsecproj.org/ginow
