Six Things Child Care Organizers Want You to Know

In a Word In Black feature, early childhood organizers across the country—all RCCF grantee partners—share six key lessons from a year of advocacy and organizing. Voices include Tyrone Scott (First Up), Erin Clark (9to5 Georgia), Tamara Lunan (The CEO Project), Lenice Emanuel (Alabama Institute for Social Justice), and Marina Marcou-O’Malley & Zakiyah Shaakir-Ansari (Alliance for Quality Education New York/AQE New York), as well as OLÉ NM. They highlight the urgent need for affordable, accessible child care, the power of collective action, and the critical role of educators and providers in supporting families and communities.
