On this day in 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson announced the creation of @HeadStartgov. Since then, Head Start programs have been a source of education, health services, and stability in the lives of countless children and families. #HappyBdayHeadStart #CelebratingHeadStart

Black mothers are 3-4 times more likely to die due to pregnancy-related complications than white mothers. During #BMHW21, I hope all Kansans will educate themselves about these disparities & commit to ensuring all mothers have access to quality, affordable services.
During #BlackMaternalHealthWeek we ask our fellow Kansans to consider how we can all do our part to listen to & support Black mothers in our communities. Learn more at CDC.gov/HearHer. #BMHW2021#HearHer

Today I issued a proclamation recognizing Black Maternal Health week. Rates of mortality and morbidity for Black women in the U.S. are nearly twice of that of White women. We must work to support healthy futures for Black women and children, and their families.

Thank you Congress for prioritizing children & families! The passage of the #AmericanRescuePlan includes $39 billion in #childcarerelief. We applaud these crucial investments in the #childcare industry and in American families as they support our nation's economic recovery.
