Help us work toward the childcare system we all deserve\u2014one that provides the foundation children need, is affordable, and pays early childhood educators like the professionals they are.<\/p>\n

We’ll start with some training: we’ll learn about the policies, how to have good lobbying conversations, how to find our way around the state house complex, and who we need to talk to, and why. Then we’ll seek out our legislators to persuade and gather intel. And finally, we’ll debrief over lunch to share what we’ve learned.<\/p>\n

Lunch is provided.
