Early LEARNING FACT OF THE DAY

Thanks to the Washington State Association of Head Start & ECEAP ELAA facts of the day will be distributed via email beginning tomorrow! Every day during session legislators, staff, and additional early learning stakeholders will receive one brief fact about the importance of early learning. MomsRising is creating a website where all of these facts, along with information about our legislative priorities, will be available. Facts of the day will be distributed to the full coalition as well and should be shared broadly using email, Facebook, Twitter, etc. We want these facts to draw folks into our legislative campaigns and remind them to protect early learning in the budget.
