In an effort to resist cuts to programs that serve many young children and their families, we have created a new Threat Watch Alert. You can sign up below to stay up to date regarding urgent developments—whether it's harmful legislation, budget cuts, or shifts in quality standards. You’ll know what’s happening, why it matters, and how to take action—fast. Click the link below to view the Threat Watch Alert webpage and fill out the subscription form to receive Threat Watch Alert emails. And share threats, concerns, and actions on our Advocacy Map!

DEY Author Rob Sanders features Book Comes Home: A Banned Book's Journey for the DEY Banned Book Club. Though this book is not currently banned, it's about what happens to a banned book. Check out this feature and all of our Banned Book Club features here.

In preparation for the 7th Annual Summer Institute, DEY National Advisor Rixa Evershed and DEY MA Working Group Co-Facilitator Aidn White join Denisha Jones for a conversation on how a commitment to Equity, Truth, and Care can sustain early childhood educators and advocates during these uncertain times.

As we prepare to host our 7th Annual Summer Institute next week, we are still looking for sponsors. Explore our sponsorship brochure and consider donating today.
