Highlights
First Up is using the RCCF support to support their Latinx ECE Equity Project, a language justice initiative designed to provide leadership development and opportunities for coalition-building for Latinx ECE educators in the Philadelphia region.
Their advocacy agenda will include ensuring that legislative bills, childcare regulations, state grants, or contracts are translated into Spanish and working as a community to interpret what was written or said.
