On June 4th, VIA held an internal action celebrating the first 6 months of Valley Early Education Reimagined, VIA's childcare initiative that launches and operates sustainable, high quality, childcare centers that fund the true cost of childcare. 134 people turned out, modeling VEER as a vehicle for relating and organizing.
On March 24th, 104 VIA leaders, employers, and Electeds came together for a press conference to announce their shared agenda for sustainable childcare. Key to the action was getting Harrisonburg Mayor Deanna Reed (Democrat) and state Rep. Tony Wilt (Republican) to publicly commit to working together and with VIA and to use the Valley Early Education Reimagined model as the blueprint.
