It’s
summer. ☀️

If you’re a working parent like I was, you know the summer season means
figuring out child care and summertime activities for your kids.

As of 2022, New Mexico’s state constitution guarantees the right to early
childhood education, with more than 30,000 families qualifying for
completely free child care. It’s an overwhelmingly popular new policy that
has lifted thousands of families out of poverty.

A policy like this one would have been a lifeline for me when I was a
young single mom. I knew the importance of early childhood education, so I
was desperate to find Somáh somewhere to attend preschool. Luckily, I
found a school that allowed me to volunteer cleaning up classrooms in
exchange for a discount on tuition. It was the only way I could have
afforded an early childhood education for my child.

give our kids opportunities to learn.

Child care and early learning shouldn’t be a luxury that only the wealthy
have access to. That’s not who we should be as a country. So when MAGA
Republicans threaten to take away funding for early education access, it
hurts our kids, working parents, and our entire state economy.

child care and push for more solutions that make New Mexico an incredible
place to raise children. Will you contribute $5 to grow our campaign so we can win this
race?

Here in New Mexico, we can’t afford to lose an inch of ground when it
comes to increasing opportunities for our children. And we still have much
more work to do when it comes to improving education outcomes and making
life more affordable for families.

fighting for children across New Mexico.

That’s why it’s critical that we win this race together. Electing state leaders who understand
the urgency around issues like affordable child care and early learning is
how we can protect and build upon our progress.

$5 or any amount you can afford to our campaign for a more
affordable New Mexico?

Be fierce,

Deb
