OLÉ New Mexico

🙌 Thank you to Chairman Smalls and Vice Chair Dixon of the House Appropriations & Finance Committee for making sure New Mexico invests in our Early Childhood Educators! 🌟

🌟 Special thanks to Speaker Javier Martinez for prioritizing this appropriation! We genuinely appreciate his leadership in acknowledging the importance of transforming early childhood education from low-wage jobs into a respected, sustainable career that attracts and retains local talent. 👏

🗣 We are hiring an Economic Justice Organizer to build a powerful group of tenants who are getting screwed by their landlord and to organize New Mexicans who want to fight for good jobs. Experienced community organizers encouraged to apply. If interested, send your resume to info@olenm.org. 🌟

Why Democrats are suddenly embracing universal childcare Candidates are putting universal childcare on platforms, and strategists say it could be a winning issue

“The work really started years and years ago,” said Paluso, Co-Director of @childcareforeveryfamily.org. Groups like @olenm.bsky.social spent more than a decade “organizing providers & parents" before securing significant victories. #FundChildCare

🗣 Starting next month, every family in NM, no matter income, gets free, high-quality early care. 🌟 But real change doesn’t happen without the people who make it real: EARLY EDUCATORS 👏 That’s why we’re calling on ECECD to finalize the Wage & Career Lattice, so educators get the pay they deserve.🌟

🌟 We are seeking a Bilingual Administrative Assistant to join our Citizenship Program and help us further our mission. 💗 This is an exciting opportunity to work in a collaborative environment while providing critical administrative support to our team and members. Learn more here - olenm.org/jobs/

If #NewMexico organizers could achieve #UniversalChildCare in their state, how can others follow? ED Andrea Serrano from OLÉ NewMexico explains the importance of #GrassrootsOrganizing to make change.
