The Mayor and Council failed to fully fund the Pay Equity Fund for next year — and early educators are likely to pay the price.

Now, the DC Council is preparing to move legislation that could cut pay for early educators to close the funding gap. We’re showing up to make sure every Councilmember knows: that’s unacceptable — and avoidable.

We’re organizing a coordinated day of action at the Wilson Building, and you can join us:

📅 Tuesday, October 21 — Lobby & Vote Presence

Come any time you can spare Tuesday morning to be part of a visible, united presence as the Council prepares to vote.
🕓 Time: Anytime between 8:30am-2pm
📍 Location: Wilson Building, 1350 Pennsylvania Ave NW

We’ll help you talk with Councilmembers and share your story — and we’ll pack the halls to make sure they see who’s watching.

Bring your badge, your voice, and your colleagues. We’ll bring signs, talking points, and a clear demand:

No educator should face deeper cuts while others are spared. If cuts can’t be avoided, they must be shared fairly — and the Mayor must act now to secure full funding.

We are on the Eve of the Holidays and our elected officials are about to give a lump of coal to our early educators, telling them they have less money to pay the rent, afford groceries and care for their own children. RSVP today to join us and speak out at the Wilson Building.

Estamos en vísperas de las fiestas y nuestros funcionarios electos están a punto de darles un trozo de carbón a nuestros educadores de la primera infancia, diciéndoles que tienen menos dinero para pagar el alquiler, hacer la compra y cuidar a sus propios hijos. Confirme su asistencia hoy para unirse a nosotros y hablar en el edificio Wilson.
