1/ Even before Covid 13 million of our kids went to school hungry. Millions to schools where classrooms don’t even have school supplies to teach a child to read, & if kids can’t learn to read by 8 then chances of high school graduation decrease & chances of incarceration increase
2/ Millions of American kids live w/ chronic trauma & have PTSD no less severe than vets from Afghanistan & Iraq. Many live in “domestic war zones.” Cuz kids aren’t old enough to vote or wield financial influence, our political system is mainly blind to the extent of the problem.
3/ From sex trafficking to hunger to violent abuse to undereducation and lack of opportunity, our systems now in place can adequately serve maybe 10% of the children who need it. That’s why we need a Department of Children and Youth. Their needs should be served first… not last.

Marianne, last school year I became aware of a friend of my son's situation in that he was hungry. It is a highly thought of STEM school with every bell and whistle. All the technology a kid could dream of. Except he was hungry.
I exhausted a system that didn't/couldn't acknowledge him because he was 18 and aged out of help. He qualified for zero because he didn't live with a family member. I supplied him with groceries for the rest of the school year. It is a broken system.
20 million kids also don't have access to primary care, which obviously has a huge effect on their ability to succeed in the classroom.
One of the zillion reasons we need #MedicareForAll.https://pnhp.org/news/20-million-children-lack-sufficient-access-to-health-care/#:~:text=20%20million%20children%20lack%20sufficient%20access%20to%20health%20care%20%2D%20PNHP …
You are speaking the absolute truth!We need help for our children. We are letting them down if we don’t step in and fight for mental health services equality in education, Emotional Intelligence Teaching and Coaching. Holistic approach is so needed. Building on strengths & gifts.
How does Marianne know this? She was on the Board of Director of Results - advisory council today - and helped to:pic.twitter.com/ibUbyq2xq6
