🎤︎ Sharing the Mic(rophone) | June 3, 2026
WEDNESDAY, June 3 🎤︎ Sharing the Mic(rophone) is a recurring segment on The 9:30 Call dedicated to amplifying the voices of those working with children and families every day. The 9:30 Call began in March 2020 as a platform to facilitate vital, real-time feedback loops among educators, advocates, funders, and policymakers. Over the past 6 years, we have built connections across the Commonwealth, and a community has emerged committed to continuous learning, understanding, and growth. There is no scheduled guest speaker, so we have plenty of time for you to share your insights, questions, and updates to help ensure policy decisions are grounded in the real, lived experiences of educators, providers, and families. Everyone is welcome! How to join these calls? Visit www.strategiesforchildren.org/930call/, click the orange registration button, and complete the form. You will receive an email with the Zoom link. We use the same Zoom link for all 9:30 calls.
