Congress Still Needs to Hear Our Voices on Child Care Funding
Please Take Action
While the politicians duel on the debt ceiling, there’s still plenty of room for us to convince both sides of the crying need for fully funded, high quality childcare. Please tell your Representatives and Senators your own stories about how that need affects your program and your community, especially the voters who can’t work because they can’t afford or find decent childcare. Thanks.
Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policies Act opens in a new tab
Why a Truth and Healing Commission: We have a right to know the truth of what happened in Indian boarding schools in the United States.
“The Truth and Healing Commission on Indian Boarding School Policies in the U.S. Act would provide an important avenue for an investigation about the losses that occurred through the Indian Boarding School Policies and the lasting consequences of the violence of this attempted genocide. Only through a formal investigation which includes meaningful consultation with Tribal Nations and significant input from survivors and their descendants, can the US begin to reconcile with the past and can tribal communities begin to move toward healing from the egregious abuses which occurred.”
—Juana Majel Dixon, National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) Board Secretary and Traditional Councilwoman of the Pauma Band of Mission Indians
