OMG! You won't believe what the DC Mayor did!!!

DC shouldn’t balance its budget on the backs of our babies. The first 1,000 days of life can significantly impact the developing brain.
A lot of that development happens in early learning settings. DC Council no cuts to the pay equity fund that gives early childhood educators an increase to their pay and access to healthcare.

I had pay for my daughter's child care like all normal Americans

[@gregchambers3365]

They don't care it's taxpayers funded.

[@royscott3432]

When a mayor tries to rein in rampant spending, everyone who has been getting free money, or was in line and expecting free money, throws a hissy fit. They all think money just grows on trees.

[@rotorheadv8]

Anytime anyone uses the word “equity”, I leave the conversation. Nothing anyone can do can make anything equitable without holding someone back.

[@64kimmyjo]

Me too.

[@ricrinehart975]

Vote red real Americans

[@DaynaOsteen-fr2wf]

Nobody paid for our childcare or school lunches

[@karengordon6610]

I don’t see why your’e on you mayor for! “Ya’ll got exactly what y'all voted for so, be proud and happy about your vote”!!!!

[@user-hp7ji2zv9s]

This is what happens when you elect people that haven't any business experience. If you don't realize it, RUNNING A CITY IS A BUSINESS.

[@margaretcarpenter1215]

Early childhood education is vital to prepare our children with a good foundation when they start school

[@dianakidd4219]

You never help a person by doing what they should be doing for themselves.

[@dr.dumddum904]

Ridiculous! It's not about being "nice" and wearing matching t-shirts, it's about living within your means. You think tax money is free? Do what other Americans do. Get another job!

[@user-fs8tl8ql6i]

[@user-tx8df3ii3q]

BOWSER WHY DIDNT YOU CALL NATIONAL GUARD ON JAN 6?

[@marthaarmstrong966]

I would like the answer to that as well....a set up for sure, her and Nancy P

[@patriciaflowers701]

You can't be serious. It's been 4 years, and you still don't know?! First, a state's governor controls the NG! Second, DC is not a state with a governor! Simply put, the mayor of D. C. does NOT control the D. C. NG!

[@terrencejames4290]

This is really good. Win for Childcare Educators !!!

[@stephenchase6611]

Here's a thought if you can't afford kids don't have so many.

[@chasl3645]

Or, You can pay for it. You just have to sacrifice and make adjustments like we did. Raising a family has never been easy. Pushing off your responsibilities to others isn't fair or right. Sometimes you have to grow up and do what needs to be done.

[@DaynaOsteen-fr2wf]

True

[@ohasis8331]

I had a strong feeling you were going to tell us.

[@Happy-dx5sn]

So that makes teachers so special. What about all the other moms that have to figure out the same problem. Wait until the government makes you pay daycare the same as California McDonald's worker. $20 an hour. I know that you are teachers but that makes it $160 a day. Thank your teacher union for that.

[@francisbissii1120]

This is the equivalent of a telemarketer call.

[@yolandebyers1377]

No government should pay for child care. Don't have kids if you cannot take care of them. Not my responsibilities. Grow up and be responsal.

[@LM-qs9lz]

Man found another and walked out. Gives no money. Left with 3 kids It happens Husband/Dad died of an aneurysm Left with 3 kids It happens Government spends money to know if lizards masterbate, doesn't hurt to have a program where there's help with childcare for a single parent Where's your compassion!

[@stevehady915]

They just find another man, but in many cases don't get married to him because they would lose those government checks.

[@GailH-sd1ug]

Why does Washington 1:05 DC have a mayor, its federal land. Not a city or state.

[@faithfulfocusedfabulous]

This is great! A day without Childcare was a great event.

[@anncain2432]

So glad I don't live in that cesspool.

[@robertreynolds5055]

You asked for it, you got it now think about this when you vote this time

[@GailH-sd1ug]

D.C. doesn't need a mayor it's federal land.

[@michaelpreston233]

That's what happens when he was installed out of Spite. Talk about DEI and gentrification

[@lindasandel7304]

Why you need a nuclear family....this feminist movement sucked. They made it where both had to work

[@karengordon6610]

Wrong!!! When eomen went to work during WW2 is when that started!!

[@christopherdrzik6784]

It's not the governments fault you chose a job that doesn't pay enough to raise a family.

[@yolandebyers1377]

Don't have kids

[@carlagold8589]

If you a pay for them! Quit depending on others to take care of your own kids! Handle you own business, nit tax taxes problem!

[@scottbrandt3814]

i am on DCs Side you are in titled to other peopls money

[@user-ni9wu9et7j]

That means they are entitled to your money
