Parents and their babies, from all 50 states, are coming to DC to tell Congress to “Think Babies”. Dr. Myra Jones-Taylor, Chief Policy Officer of ZERO TO THREE, came on Great Day Washington to talk about the impact this could have on Congress.
ZERO TO THREE designed the Think Babies campaign to promote enriching early experiences and a strong foundation for development from the start.
She explains that this rally is to make sure Congress knows it’s time to think about babies. She explains how the next generation should be our priority, and how our strollers can make a difference. Their main goal is to have Congress understand that families should have more time bonding with their newborns, high-quality affordable childcare, and to increase investment in early head start.
Strolling Thunder will take place at the East Lawn of the United States Capitol (Constitution and 1st Street NE) in Washington, DC on Tuesday, May 8 at 12pm. For more information go to www.zerotothree.org.
