Bonus points for helping me learn emergency preparedness info in bite-sized chunks while standing at a fair booth with a toddler who is squirming/walking away/asking questions. I still haven’t had time to read your brochures, but I still learned from your great elevator speeches!

If you were watching the #DNC2024 last night you heard @KamalaHarris call out far-right #Project2025 proposals to dismantle public education. Do you want to learn more about those harmful proposals? @CAPEarlyEd and @EdProgress have you covered! ⤵️ americanprogress.org/article…
