Write a Letter to the Editor Detailing How Payment Delays Are Hurting Your Program

Early childhood providers across the state are experiencing severe hardships as they try to keep programs afloat without state grant dollars. We need to bring more public awareness to this growing crisis and let key decision makers know that the state’s continued failure to pay providers will unravel decades of progress toward narrowing the achievement gap and protecting the long-term health of our state’s workforce and economy. Use these sample message points to create your own letter to the editor and include personalized information about the impact the payment delays are having on your program and community.  When you provide your contact information, our web site will direct your letter to your local newspaper.
