<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Lorraine,<br>
<br>
<strong>Today is Early Care and Education Advocacy Day 2012 in Albany</strong>. Supporters from around the State are coming to the capital to meet with legislators about the Governor’s budget proposals.
<strong>Double the impact by making phone calls to your legislators’ offices TODAY.
</strong><br>
<br>
<strong><span style="color:#339966">Call these numbers:</span></strong><strong> Senate Operator 518-455-2800 / Assembly Operator 518-455-4100</strong><br>
<em><b>Give your zip code to the operator and you will be directed to your state legislator.</b></em><br>
<br>
<strong><span style="color:#339966">Use these talking points</span></strong> to let him/her know what needs to be done to provide New York State’s children with high-quality early care and learning programs:
<br>
<br>
<strong>1. Redirect competitive grant funds to increase Universal Prekindergarten funding by $53 million as proposed by the New York State Board of Regents.</strong><br>
<br>
<strong>2. Support the Executive Budget’s proposal of $93 million in child care subsidies and advance funds for 2013-14 to help close the gap.
</strong><br>
<br>
<strong>3. Invest $20 million in QUALITYstarsNY (QSNY)</strong><br>
<br>
Our youngest learners are <strong>counting on your voice</strong> to carry the message that high quality early care and learning programs should be a priority for New York State. For more in-depth information on our priorities, see
<em>Winning Beginning NY’s </em><strong><i><a href="http://capwiz.com/wbny/utr/1/MIMBRKTKSM/ETVZRKVLMA/7977156416">2012 Legislative Agenda</a></i></strong> and
<strong><a href="http://capwiz.com/wbny/utr/1/MIMBRKTKSM/IGFVRKVLMB/7977156416">Talking Points for today’s Early Care and Education Advocacy Day</a></strong>.<br>
<br>
<strong>Please join today’s call-in for early education!</strong><br>
