We're grateful for @CMWendellFelder's support for Ward 7 educators and families and his advocacy to help stabilize the Pay Equity Fund. Thank you for standing with DC's early childhood community. Now the @councilofdc must follow his lead and add $2M to the PEF at 2nd vote.

We also want to thank @BrianneKNadeau for highlighting that the Pay Equity Fund remains underfunded, and @CMLewisGeorgeW4 @CMWendellFelder for calling for a $2M PEF increase to stabilize our child care ecosystem during the first budget today!

Our President and CEO Jamal Berry joined NBC4 to react to the @councilofdc’s budget proposal. At today’s first vote, we hope they will approve the restoration of the #PayEquityFund and enhancement of the #childcare subsidy program. Thank you @ChmnMendelson for your leadership.👏

Our community is a constant presence at the @CouncilofDC to make sure they stand with children, families, and educators in the FY27 budget. Fully fund the #PayEquityFund and Child Care Subsidy program to protect DC’s ECE system!

Yet our teachers are in their classrooms every day and are slated to get steep pay cuts unless the @councilofdc fully restores the #PayEquityFund.

.@ChmnMendelson raised an interesting point in a recent hearing: He says two newly renovated offices for the CFO, which cost the city $26m annually, are largely sitting empty.
The CFO only requires workers to be in person 2 days a month. Mendo doubts they're even managing that.

Our Parent and Teacher Ambassadors stormed the Wilson Building today to make sure their voices were heard. They shared their personal stories and made a unified ask: fully restore funding to the #PayEquityFund and increase investment in the Child Care Subsidy.

Behind every thriving classroom is an educator like Jakira, supporting, and uplifting young learners every day. But recent proposed cuts to ECE investments put these classrooms at risk.
Contact your councilmember today, and urge them to protect the Pay Equity Fund

If we truly value teachers, we have to invest in all of them. The @councilofdc must fully fund the #PayEquityFund in FY27 to ensure early childhood educators are paid what they deserve.
We're proud that Washington, DC is home to the best teachers in the world—and that we offer the highest starting teacher salaries in the nation.
Thank you, DC teachers, for going above and beyond every day for our city's young people.
Happy National Teachers' Day!
