Let’s send a powerful message to Michigan’s lawmakers: Pass a budget NOW that prioritizes early childhood!
⏰ Michigan’s budget deadline is 9/30/25. The choices made in the next few days will directly affect families, early childhood providers, and communities across our state- https://www.ecic4kids.org/fy25-26-budget/#/1/
❌ Proposed cuts would mean:
Fewer affordable child care options for families
More providers at risk of closing their doors
Parents forced to leave the workforce
✅ By coming together on this Day of Action, we can make sure lawmakers hear us loud and clear—Michigan’s children and families must come first!
This Thursday, September 25th, is our 2nd Annual Michigan Indian Day Celebration from 4-6pm at Camp Jijak in Hopkins.
