Building a Transformative Movement for ECE: The Case for Fostering

Despite a rich history of leaning into advancing equity in the early childhood
education profession, our advocacy efforts have not always centered the voices
and experiences of marginalized communities that are central to building inclusive social justice movements. Using feedback from online community- building and advocacy cohorts, alongside an exploration of tactics and best practices from similarly oriented movements, join the National Association for the Education of Young Children’s Policy Communications Specialist, Sydelle Barreto, in a vibrant discussion on how early childhood educators, providers, early education champions and advocates can foster equity in advocacy in service of a movement that results in an ECE system that truly meets the needs of young children, their families, early childhood educators, and our broader society.
