Our Choose Children Day of Action this Monday in Salem was a testament to the power of cross-sector collaboration to push forward policies that will ensure Oregon's youngest children have what they need in health (doulas!), education (child care!), and family support services (relief nurseries!). Scroll through this photo series from yesterday to see the powerful statements from our cross-sector partners and early childhood advocates. “This was a rallying cry for the legislature and the executive branch in support of early childhood. It’s just what we needed. Well done.” Sue Miller, Chair, Early Learning Council-OR DELC #earlylearning #earlyliteracy #kitzhaber #kulongoski #salem #politics

  • “I understand the huge budget shortfalls that are facing our agencies, the huge asks that are coming this legislative session, but I’m also a mom. I have two kids under three, and I know how hard it is. Moms in the room! [Room bursts into applause.] I know how hard it is for working moms, especially right now. It’s not a mutually exclusive concept. I’m an economist by trade. I understand the huge return on investment of choosing children. Alicia Chapman, economist
  • “At this moment in time, there’s so much that we’re feeling, whether it’s federal politics, whether it’s local politics. And there is some fear in the air. Then you come to rooms like this full of where you see friends. You see us putting away our small differences. You see us coming together around things that matter. “ Frank So, Executive Director of Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon
  • “I believe the people in this room and the lawmakers listening today know we can do more and are committed to see strong improvements … I believe in the power of voices and our spirits to change the future.” Dina Lopez, child care provider
  • “We are prioritizing investments in our children and our families. They are our future. I would like to speak for a moment on an issue that has been a major part of my professional and political life, which involves our children and our families. Children need a loving, functioning family in life to succeed.” Former Governor Ted Kulongoski
