Hello,
Many of you have let me know you’ve mailed your
CARES 2.0 Thank You
postcard to Mayor London Breed.
All of us speaking and acting together is the way we’ll be heard—funding for early care and education, and ensuring that educators can dedicate themselves to this important work is essential to San Francisco's community! Haven't sent yours yet, or have some more?
Keep them coming!
This Tuesday, November 19 the Board of Supervisors will issue a resolution declaring November 20, 2019
World Children’s Day
, and affirming the City and County's commitment to the
United Nations Convention of the Rights of Children
. The
CARES 2.0 Thank You
postcards will be highlighted in the introduction to the resolution.
The resolution promotes the UN Convention of the Rights of Children, “set[ting] out the civil, political, economic, social, health, and cultural rights of children …” as well as “condemns the xenophobic actions of the Federal government at the United States border due to its infringement upon the children’s freedom from neglect and negligent treatment, and from cruel and inhumane treatment …” and calls out the impact of the climate crisis, “including its disproportionate impact on low-income families, immigrants, and families of color …” See the full document
