We'd like to thank the Foundation for Child Development (FCD) and the Care for All with Respect and Equity (CARE) Fund for inviting us to participate in the "Connecting Organizing, Social Justice, and Advocacy for Young Children and Their Families: What Will It Take to Achieve National Policy Transformation?" convening. #ParentLeaders #UPLAN
