AI conversations usually start with technology. We're starting with children.

How can we tell when AI strengthens healthy development and when it gets in the way?

Every baby deserves a strong start, but many families lack the basics to get there. Together, we can help change that.

We're partnering w/ @diapernetwork.bsky.social to collect donations for diapers. Every contribution helps give babies a healthier, happier start: bit.ly/4ftL3SG

Thank you to Rep. Steve Womack from Arkansas for meeting with Baby David and his family to discuss economic security for families. Because raising a baby is expensive enough.

What do families really want?

Affordable child care, paid family and medical leave, mental health support, stable housing and food security

Tomorrow, we're bringing that message to lawmakers. Watch the Strolling Thunder™ Rally live at 12 PM EDT: https://bit.ly/4qeleu7

The elephant in the room? The first three years shape a lifetime, yet just 1.59% of federal funding is dedicated to babies and toddlers.

Keep funding war while babies go without? That’s a choice we can change. Families make our country strong. If we value children, our nation's spending should reflect investments in them, including child care.

Tell Congress to invest in our families: https://bit.ly/47tFWi9

Toxic stress changes the brain. It raises the risk of poor health, school struggles, justice involvement and even suicide.

But babies can heal when we act early.

Love, safety and connection shape a baby’s future.
And the window to build that foundation is short.

Each baby’s potential is unlimited.
The window to support them is not.

Mental health starts early.
So should support.

You don’t need a baby to care about this.
Because their future becomes our shared reality.

Last night’s State of the Union didn’t mention America’s babies. But they can’t be left out of the conversation.

Families are under pressure, and babies feel it.

We know what works. It’s time to Believe In Babies and act.

Here's the real State of Babies in the US:

-Babies made up 3.2% of the US population, but only 1.5% of federal spending in 2025

Babies can't vote, but the decisions being made in Washington will shape our future as well as theirs.

The State of the Union starts with the State of our Babies. Here's the real State of Babies in the US:

- Child care costs more than rent in 33 states and DC.
- Early Head Start serves less than 11% of eligible babies.

The State of the Union starts with the State of our Babies. Here's the real State of Babies in the US:

Yes, mental health includes babies.

After losing her baby brother, Nelwyn's older sister Keeva developed PTSD.
Nelwyn began to withdraw, too.
They needed care. But support was hard to find. She’s one of many.

Meet more babies. Hear their stories: https://bit.ly/3OkatrX

Shania wanted Cohen to have the childhood she never had.

Love wasn’t the problem.
Support was, until someone believed in her.

Believing in babies means believing in caregivers, too.

Watch their story. Become a believer: https://bit.ly/3OsLdjd
