Listening to and advocating for children, families, and early childhood education.

#ParadigmShifter Sarah DelaTorre Williams in Houston shared: "Our Becker Votes wall is going up! We asked families and staff to send in selfies from voting. Our students LOVE looking at the pics and it has sparked such meaningful conversations."   "No Small Matter" is a documentary that kickstarts the public conversation about child care and early childhood education. JCC Association's Sheva Center is thrilled to host a virtual screening of the film on October 27 & 28. All are welcome to join us! To accommodate all schedules and time zones, participants will receive a link and password to view the film on their own time on October 27th & 28th. Space is limited, please register here: https://bit.ly/35kEL3N
In addition to the screening, we are thrilled to have Greg Jacobs, Writer and Co-Director of “No Small Matter,” join in conversation on October 28th at 2pm ET. A link to register to observe that panel discussion can be found In the event registration above.  “Civic engagement is empowering... But too many young people don’t know where their voices fit in — or, after historical exclusion and oppression, have turned away from politics as an avenue for change.”
 How are you voting? #ParadigmShifter Kathy Pomer voted by mail and shares with us her process! “Thrilled that our ballots came yesterday we immediately got busy filling in ovals and preparing the envelope for sending back and being counted. But what to do next? Send it back from the Post Office? Put extra stamps and put it back in our box? Take it to town hall today or on November 3!? Amazing though we've had a plan (and back ups) for voting the moment came and it was paralyzing!!! We decided the good old USPS got it to us - it would get it where it needed to go - and so with double stamps (and a tracking number!) we happily share this and this!” #shmakoleinu #hearourvoice #voteforECE  Advocacy for ECE, children, and families is both essential to the future of Jewish early childhood education and an ethical imperative for our field. We are getting involved wherever possible. Many of us found ourselves at this pre-debate virtual rally.  Here are some of the signs we brought with us:    "We were just gifted this new book for my son. The animals are fed up with the king and learn about democracy. They have demonstrations, runs campaigns and go through the election process!" -Aliza Plotkin.
