INSIDE
NAEYC’ s Value. Voice. Vote. campaign recognizes that early childhood educators are trusted professionals whose experiences and expertise deserve to be heard. When educators elevate the value of their work, use their voices to share their experiences and expertise, and participate in the electoral process, they help strengthen the future of the profession.
As November approaches, consider one action you can take to prepare:
› Confirm your voter registration status. › Learn what will be on your ballot.
› Attend and participate in events like candidate forums or town halls.
› Make a plan to vote, and encourage your colleagues to do the same.
Your voice can help shape a stronger future for children, families, and early childhood educators. Learn more at NAEYC. org / value-voice-vote.
