📣 While certain politicians focus on bankrolling billionaires, families can’t afford childcare and centers are closing. That’s why @kcoumn.bsky.social leader Jessica Kremer — former director of a center forced to close in July — is speaking out. #FundChildcare www.postbulletin.com/opinion/colu...?

We're sharing this fantastic video featuring Sophia again because she is our Monday Leader Shoutout! She is great at her job, but she shouldn't have to have found her way into childcare because she couldn't find or afford childcare for her child! bsky.app/profile/isai...

📣 @kcoumn.bsky.social leader Angie Clair keeps it real in this 🔥 op-ed: while the Trump Admin lines billionaire pockets, childcare centers are closing and our kids are paying the price. It’s time to act boldly. #FundChildCare #Handsoff #Headstart #mnleg minnesotareformer.com/2025/08/01/f...

😵‍💫 That moment when you can’t find or afford childcare… so you become the childcare. Sofia’s right: “The math just doesn’t work out.” 👩‍🍼 Families are stretched thin. 👩‍🏫 Providers are underpaid. 📣 It’s time to change the formula. #FundChildcare.

📚 No matter where we come from, Minnesotans value education. But the Trump Administration is still holding back $61M from our schools. Our kids and adult learners alike deserve better. Read more 👇👇👇 sahanjournal.com/education/tr...

1/ Something is fundamentally wrong when families are spending MORE on childcare than a mortgage or rent. Childcare is a textbook example of a broken market, failing parents, providers, and kids alike.

Every Minnesotan deserves a high-quality home in the community they choose. But too many communities still ban the kinds of housing everyday people can afford. 😤 That's why we'll be back at the Capitol next year, calling on lawmakers to say #YesToHomes! 🏡 📣 minnesotareformer.com/2025/07/14/l...

🔥 As the Trump Administration & his billionaire backers come for our healthcare, schools, and communities, Yahye said it best: “The worst thing we can do is stay silent and not get organized.” 💌 Sign up for our emails to follow along and get involved: bit.ly/4miWnD5
