Show Up United for Early Childhood Education.

 

The FLAEYC Advocacy Shirt was created for advocates coming together during our 2026 advocacy efforts in Washington, D.C. and Tallahassee. On Tuesday, February 24, 2026, advocates across the state and nation will wear this shirt together to show unity as we speak up for early childhood education.

 

The shirt features “Advocate” on the front and a powerful message on the back: Supported Educators. Thriving Children. Strong Workforce. A reminder that when educators are supported, children—and our workforce—thrive.
