Check out this NPR Here & Now segment about DC's Pay Equity Fund featuring one of Educare DC's Teacher Aides, Boniece Gillis! "Now I'm able to do something I'm really good at, that I'm passionate about, that I love. I'm able to be financially compensated for that. And that's a beautiful thing." Thank you to Andrea Hsu at NPR for covering the Pay Equity Fund!
This is fantastic. I hope all of the opponents of this benefit to families, child development professionals and the business community stop trying to kill this program like they did the DC housing vouchers funded through this legislation. Opponents like the US Congress, DC Mayor and those on the Council.
I agree
