Re: Annual Innovation Summit shows the opportunity of economic crisis [CapitalCityWeekly.com]
Mark, thank you for that update, however upsetting the news is. What actions would you recommend members of ACEs Connection take? Calling their representatives, or calling members of the House Finance Committee, to argue for the cost (and socio-emotional, health, etc.) benefits of continuing to fund early childhood programs such as these? Thanks!

"It's All Connected": NJEA ACEs Task Force Reaches Beyond Educators
The March meeting of the New Jersey Education Association’s ACEs Task Force opened without an agenda. It was a virtual gathering with more than 50 people—educators, social workers, professionals in pediatrics, juvenile justice and child abuse prevention. The pandemic had landed emphatically close to home, with a governor’s order to close all schools on March 18, and participants were grappling with what that meant for their students, their families and themselves. So ACEs Task Force co-chair...

Pathway for Trauma is Pathway for Resilience: Fresno Network's Message Inspires Hope
In Fresno, volunteers from local churches were already working with the schools, mentoring kids and running weekend recreation programs.

Hope and Progress, No Matter What! — an ACEs Connection/Cambia Health Foundation “Better Normal”, Oct. 22, 2020
The election is upon us. In two short weeks, we voters in this country decide who will lead us for the next four years.

What is clear is that no matter what, the ACEs movement will continue.
