Never, ever underestimate the importance of having fun.
-Randy Pausch, author of The Last Lecture

1:01 Monday 1:01 Tuesday 1:01 Wednesday 1:01 Thursday 1:01 Friday 1:01 Saturday 1:01 Sunday

Join 630 delegates who attended the 2009 World Forum on Early Care and Education by dedicating one minute a day to advocacy.

At 1:01 pm each day — no matter where you are or what you're doing — take one minute for action. Write a letter, send an e-mail, make a phone call. Make a commitment, call for action, raise awareness. Every action makes a difference.

ExchangeEveryDay is sent to 55,000 early childhood professionals. Let's do the math:

55,000 advocacy minutes per day, 365 days per year
= 20,075,000 advocacy minutes per year
= 334,583 advocacy hours per year

Let's do it! Let's dedicate 1 minute per day, 7 minutes per week, each of us for one year.

And let's use one of our minutes to bring 3 new people into the effort — which would bring our potential advocacy hours to over a million!

Then share your story on how you plan to use your advocacy minutes on the World Forum website.

THANKS for posting this idea. That is GREAT.

Here is an important and timely way to use that minute RIGHT NOW!!

Could the ExchangeEveryDay post something like:

One way to use this advocacy minute is to call / contact your U.S. Representative and urge that person to "Support the 'Early Learning Challenge Grant Fund' in H.R. 3221.

This fund will bring much needed resources to states to:

**** increase the number of disadvantaged children in high quality programs at each age from birth to kindergarten.
**** promote an integrated system of high quality early childhood education,
**** provide financial incentives and supports to providers to meet and sustain higher levels of quality,
**** professional development and credentials tied to better compensation,
**** coordination among state planning bodies and agencies that support young children and families, and
**** make referrals to health and other services as needed by children and families.

Please support this legislation with your US Representative now.

THANKS.
