We loved this Q&A from Early Learning Nation on the ways the expanded Child Tax Credit massively cut child poverty during the pandemic, and demonstrated the power of family-led advocacy. “If you go back to the Great Society and Head Start, you see a central role for parents, but then for decades, a lot of leaders in the early childhood community became less focused on it. The conventional wisdom has been it’s hard to organize parents. But this is now happening on an impressive scale,” said Olivia Golden, a senior policy advisor at the Foundation for Child Development. https://lnkd.in/eeHxGbwm #childtaxcredit #parents #earlychildhood
