Slashing funding for child care is short-sighted & harmful. The PEF is DC's promise to early childhood educators. We applaud @ChmnMendelson and the @councilofdc for their dedication to righting this wrong and ensuring a more equitable future for all. Read: bit.ly/4aMn7q3

Could there be some wiggle room here to save the Pay Equity Fund? #washingtonDC #childcare #Under3DC
Just in time for Month of the Young Child + a contentious #washingtondc budget season that has seen @MayorBowser propose eliminating the Pay Equity Fund, @YourDCTV w/ @BainumFdn support is rebroadcasting Stronger Start this week! #childcare #Under3DC dctv.org/strongerstart
For D.C. child care workers, the D.C. Pay Equity Fund -$75 million program that allows #ECE educators to be paid similarly to D.C. public school teachers - is up for budget cuts. Public budget hearing is May 3; vote set for May 29. @Beckgale reports. tinyurl.com/3ypdkhae
.@ChmnMendelson with some spicy news for your Friday evening: He plans to reverse the CFO’s reserve decisions to restore the childcare pay equity fund AND reverse many cuts to DCPS when he presents his budget in May. Now we wait for Glen Lee’s response…
Check out our FY25 Mayor's Report Card here to understand how she failed to fund #DCBudget recommendations for equitable investments in essential needs of DC residents. #SafetyIs investing in community, but this budget isn't giving safety! fairbudget.org/fy25-mayors-bu…
April 16th was DC Emancipation Day, the 162nd anniversary of the abolition of slavery in DC. It's a celebratory day for the District. But as we see cuts to programs that are helping right historical wrongs, we're reminded of injustices that persist. t.ly/7AVb5
DC #EmancipationDay: a reminder of promises unfulfilled for Black Washingtonians. While strides have been made, economic freedom remains elusive. The battle to preserve the Pay Equity Fund symbolizes the ongoing fight for equity.
“[We are] going to see childcare sector collapse in the District if we don't fix this.” - @chenderson. Thank you for speaking truth and fighting hard, Councilmember! wusa9.com/article/entert… District residents do not let up! Take action now —> bit.ly/DefendOurPay

Yesterday we delivered letters from Educare DC teachers to the @councilofdc about what the #PayEquityFund means to them. The Council must keep its commitment to early childhood teachers and fully restore the Pay Equity Fund in the FY25 budget. #ProtectPEF
Navigating the challenges of being an ECE provider in Washington, D.C. is no easy feat, but the focus on the little ones makes it all worth it 💕@BainumFdn #ECEprovider #ChildcareChallenges #LoveWhatYouDo
Thank you for discussing the Pay Equity Fund w/@CMFrumin, Megan! We LOVE to see parent solidarity with the District's early educators! #Under3DC #WashingtonDC x.com/megan_c_clark/…
I appreciated having a chance to talk to @CMFrumin’s staff this morning about the status of the Pay Equity Fund, bike racks, and bike lanes in Ward 3! Most of his staff bikes and is equally outraged about DDOT’s actions on Connecticut Ave 😌
Bowser: "I will not support a budget that amps up taxes for increased spending on programs that don't increase our growth or revenues." Polling shows that voters support increased taxes on wealth to address needs & make our tax system more equitable ➡️ dcfpi.org/press-releases…
Bowser wouldn't answer @SegravesNBC4 directly today when asked if she'd support sending the budget to Congress without the CFO's certification. But she did say Lee's "wrong on the law"...and cautioned the Council that her support could waver with new tax increases in the budget.
The Mayor’s budget already repays the Fiscal Stabilization Reserve between FYs 25 and 27, so before FY 28. It doesn’t seem like Lee is ceding any new ground, perhaps except allowing repayment all in one year vs three? Unclear
DC’s CFO says @MayorBowser & @ChmnMendelson do not have to replenish $217 million in DC reserve funds by FY 25. CFO tells @nbcwashington “a full replenishment of Reserves must occur before FY 2028”

DCELC wants to thank Chairman Mendelson’s support for the Early Educator’ Pay Equity Fund ; it will benefit young children throughout DC as their teachers continue to get the education and credentials needed to provide quality early learning experiences for them.
Could there be some wiggle room here to save the Pay Equity Fund? #washingtonDC #childcare #Under3DC

Thank you, @ChmnMendelson! This is the right move. The law is on your side. This means over 4k early educators will be able to keep their raises and healthcare. And more schools will have stable budgets going into next year 🙌🏽

@amanduhgomez @wamu885 @margaretbarthel @ecwilliams30 @kaylahhewitt @WhyBlitz @yesl_kim Oh Amanda - congratulations on all of your fantastic work. Your work has been singular and crucial, and I know I’ve always looked up to and loved your stories. You’ll be very much missed but so excited to see what the next chapter brings!
There's so much to say but I'll keep it short: I’ll always be grateful for getting the chance to work with the people who power(ed) @DCist @wamu885. I'm still rooting for the news team there. Support local news - and please tell WAMU and @AmericanU leadership to do the same.
For D.C. child care workers, the D.C. Pay Equity Fund -$75 million program that allows #ECE educators to be paid similarly to D.C. public school teachers - is up for budget cuts. Public budget hearing is May 3; vote set for May 29. @Beckgale reports. tinyurl.com/3ypdkhae
Today is my last day @wamu885. It's bittersweet. I believe in the mission of local journalism. &I respect and admire my colleagues - including @margaretbarthel, @ecwilliams30, @kaylahhewitt, @WhyBlitz, @yesl_kim - so much. But I need to step away from WAMU and the news industry.
