Child care educators—mostly women, people of color, and immigrants—are essential to our economy, yet they continue to be underpaid and undervalued. As we approach Equal Pay Day on March 25, we must spotlight the pay inequities that harm educators, families, and our workforce. Join us on Tuesday, March 18, at 6 PM ET for a Virtual Town Hall on the impact of inequitable funding for early childhood education. This conversation, streamed live on YouTube (@ecfunders7209), will feature parents, providers, and advocates sharing how inadequate investments in child care fuel pay disparities. Let’s ensure child care educators are valued, supported, and compensated fairly. #ChildCareNow #EqualPayDay #WomensHistoryMonth

Today, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy and his unwavering fight for justice, equity, and opportunity—values that continue to shape our work in early childhood philanthropy. At the Early Childhood Funders Collaborative, we recognize that true systemic change requires bold action and a commitment to dismantling barriers that prevent young children, families, and communities from thriving. Dr. King’s vision calls us to center racial and economic justice, ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive. ?? As we reflect on his legacy, we ask: How can philanthropy be a catalyst for the just and equitable future Dr. King envisioned? Let’s move beyond remembrance to action. Equity isn’t just a goal—it’s a responsibility. #MLKDay #EquityInAction #EarlyChildhood
