On February 6, 2018 approximately 200 advocates came to Albany
t
o urge legislators to fu
nd child care and early
ed
ucation programs. This effort was led by the Empire State Campaign for Child Care and Winning Beginning NY.
The group of participants was composed of CCR&R staff, parents, providers, advocates and business owners.
In addition to a successful rally and many legislative meetings,
over 100 tweets were
sent out that reached almost 60,000 accounts with over 150,000 impressions.
While the federal government recently invested additional funds into early education programs, we continue to urge the state of New York to also invest in our young children and families. Thank you to all
those that made the trip to Albany and fight for NY's young children every day!
