“Our voice matters. Our leadership matters.”

Early educators in our Shared Services Alliance spent part of their Saturday at an advocacy networking event.

Benu Chhabra shared her experience as an early education advocate and her participation in A Day Without Child Care to advocate for early educators and working families. Each year, this day brings hope that systems will be created that further value educators and the families they support.

Cairo Moore-Crowder from FIERCE Advocates held a virtual training on leadership, boards and commissions. Attendees also came together for a panel discussion on how early educators can build local advocacy networks, featuring insights from Benu Chhabra, San Jose City Councilmember Pamela Campos, and Stephen Propheter, director of the Early Education Division (EED) at the .

We were so proud to host this advocacy event with early educators. Events like these are one small step that can help us all strengthen early education advocacy networks and educator voices in our community.

Last Friday, we attended the Alum Rock Counseling Center ARCC's annual luncheon at the Mexican Heritage Plaza in San Jose. More than 220 guests came together to support mental health services for communities in Santa Clara County.

The event honored Blanca Alvarado, a former FIRST 5 commissioner, for her lifelong achievements and advocacy supporting women, children, public health, and community programs. The event also celebrated the Alum Rock Counseling Center’s 2026 Super Role Model, Dean McCully. It was heartwarming to see the community celebrate these two individuals and the impact they have made, large and small, on people around them.

We thank the Alum Rock Counseling Center for its continued work supporting the academic, mental health, and social needs of youth and families of East San Jose. We hope we can all continue to inspire and support youth to reach their full potential.
