What Kris Perry learned from being a plaintiff in the landmark Supreme Court case for same-sex marriage, Hollingsworth v. Perry, she now applies to our most vulnerable group facing inequality. She advocates that the next civil rights movement is providing low-income children with access to high-quality, early education. Executive Director of the First Five Years Fund, Kris understands that America’s future lies in the health and well-being of the country’s youngest children. She has dedicated her career to bringing resources and support to parents, caregivers, and early learning workforce professionals to ensure children grow up healthy and ready to succeed in school and in life. Kris is a national thought leader on early childhood education and has appeared in the New York Times, POLITICO, New Republic, Salon, Congressional Quarterly, and many other news outlets across the country. • This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
