The grand opening of the Kansas Office of Early Childhood is proof that smart policy solutions create lasting impact. United WE is proud to support legislation that strengthens families, expands opportunity, grows our workforce, and helps Kansas thrive. #ksleg

Earlier this month, SB 30 officially became law in Kansas. As May comes to a close, we reflect on the partnerships, advocacy, and policy solutions advanced this legislative session that strengthen economic opportunity and stability across the state.

Thank you @GovStitt for signing bipartisan legislation HB 1979 to explore streamlining Oklahoma’s child care system. This is a meaningful step toward supporting working families, strengthening the workforce, and removing barriers to economic participation. #OKGov

We are honored for United WE President & CEO, @WendyDDoyle, to testify before the Kansas Senate Commerce Committee today on occupational licensing reform, SB30. When women have a license to succeed, economies grow. #KSleg

New reporting from The Daily Yonder shows rural states advancing child care through smart, targeted policy. That aligns with United WE research showing access to child care directly impacts women’s ability to work, earn, and stay in the workforce. 🔗 ow.ly/1w7q50Y0kYK

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy reminds us that justice is built through service, participation, and sustained commitment to change. As we honor his leadership, we recommit to strengthening economic opportunity and civic engagement for women nationwide.

Thank you @GovMikeKehoe for your leadership. From cutting red tape to caregiving, United WE looks forward to continuing to partner with state leaders on smart, bipartisan solutions that expand opportunity for women across the state. #mosots
