Turning down training, promotions, and job offers inflicts long-term damage on career opportunities and parental income. Federal, state and local policymakers as well as businesses have roles to play to reduce the harm caused by the #childcarecrisis.

Yesterday, HHS froze access to certain @ACFHHS-run federal child care and family assistance funds for California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and New York following serious concerns about widespread fraud and misuse of taxpayer dollars in state-administered programs.

We just delivered baby bottles w/ messages to Congress, asking: “Don’t cut the programs that keep me healthy and fed.” The One Big Beautiful Bill Act slashes Medicaid, SNAP & more. Families can’t afford these cuts. Add your voice: thinkbabies.org/budgetcuts #MessageinaBabyBottle.

On a webinar today in my role at @Child_Success as we consider what children & families need right now. Step one: disasterassistance.gov/ That $750 you've heard about? It's new; it's a "starting point" - not a maximum; it's meant for URGENT needs. #HeleneRecovery

So proud of this report on potential transformative impact for #doulas in rural areas of SC, particularly for Black mothers. My colleague and I have dug deep into data, reviewed dozens of articles, conducted focus groups, and mapped out trends in outcomes across the state.
"2.2 million American women live in maternity care deserts... with no hospital or birth center with obstetric care, or obstetric providers." Learn more about how to address this crucial need by expanding rural #doula access: tinyurl.com/ycybf4yd

Today, I joined @DCFKansas and advocates to ceremonially sign the SOUL family legal permanency option into law. Every child deserves a voice in their future. This legislation is transformational for Kansas kids, giving them a chance to choose their home with trusted adults.
