The Children First Collective's child care advocates met with @RepScottPeters last week to discuss CARE! We're grateful for his dedication to understanding the obstacles facing #SanDiego children, families, and care providers regarding access and affordability. #WeChooseCare
@RepSaraJacobs We MUST have the conversation! #WeChooseCare #SanDiego!
Don’t miss out on SUN Bucks! 🌞 Update your address at your child's school, services office, or online at BenefitsCal.com. Extra details at cdss.ca.gov/SUNBucks
This is a bipartisan conversation we MUST have. Our children, families, and child care providers can’t wait!
How can we see the system that cares for our children as a “major problem”, yet not unanimously agree that helping families should be a “high priority”? We MUST invest in what we value! #WeChooseCare
Parents and adults across the country KNOW that #ChildCare costs are a major problem! It’s time we address the elephant in the room and give child care the attention it deserves!
As stated in the #SanDiego Child Care Blueprint, “Significant local investment for San Diego child care is needed to support children, families, and child care providers!” It’s time to say #WeChooseCare in San Diego, and invest in the future! laist.com/news/politics/…
$880 billion dollars in cuts would mean hundreds of thousands of San Diegans would lose coverage they rely on. Including over 100,000 children and 32,000 seniors. CARE should be accessible to everyone!
Q4: Cuts to Medi-Cal are cuts to the infrastructure working families depend on. What would it mean for your community if Medi-Cal funding were cut? #SaveMedicaid @endchildpovca @ParentVoicesCA @ChildrenFirstCo @CaAllianceKIDS @catalystcenter1 @ChildrensInstLA @calfund
#MediCal gives families and care providers ease of mind that their families physical health, mental health, and overall wellness is taken care of without having to break the bank or make hard financial decisions!
Q3: Advancing economic justice for workers includes ensuring their families have access to care. How does Medi-Cal support your organization’s mission to advance equity for children and families? #SaveMedicaid @endchildpovca @ParentVoicesCA @ChildrenFirstCo @CaAllianceKIDS
Q3: Advancing economic justice for workers includes ensuring their families have access to care. How does Medi-Cal support your organization’s mission to advance equity for children and families? #SaveMedicaid @endchildpovca @ParentVoicesCA @ChildrenFirstCo @CaAllianceKIDS @catalystcenter1 @ChildrensInstLA @calfund
Health equity for child care would be the ability to pay child care workers a thriving wage, as well as provide benefits such as basic health care and paid sick leave!
Q2: Health equity means that every child—regardless of their parent’s job or income—can get the care they need.What does health equity look like in your community, and how does Medi-Cal funding make that possible for kids? @endchildpovca @ParentVoicesCA @ChildrenFirstCo
As cost of living increases children, families, and CARE workers need as much support as they can get. Child care costs are like taking on a second mortgage, while facilities and workers struggle to stay afloat!
Welcome to our May Day #SaveMedicaid Chat! Q1: Working families deserve access to health care that supports their ability to raise healthy children. How has Medi-Cal helped the children and families you serve and advocate for access to the care they need to thrive? Don't
What a great cause and a great way to say #WeChooseCare for our kiddos all over California!

Everyone can agree there is a #childcare crisis in the U.S. so why haven't we come together on a solution? @ehaspel shares his take in this podcast! #ThrivingTogether means coming together to create policy that helps #families access affordable child care! doorcountypulse.com/podcast-solvin…
