We hope it was assumed before, but to be clear, Step Up to SIT stands firmly behind the BLM movement in all of its forms of protest. If you are looking for childcare in order to participate in peaceful protest, we offer our services to you! #blm #SayTheirNames
Tune in tomorrow with your kids!
Join us Monday at 7p/6c for #KidsTogether as we answer kids' questions and concerns about COVID-19 plus get tips and insights from medical experts

As schools and childcare centers close to slow the spread of the #coronavirus, many doctors, nurses, and health care workers are scrambling for childcare. @errolbarnett shows us how volunteers are stepping up to help.

Students are doing their part to make sure health workers can keep showing up to do incredible work to keep our MN communities safe! We can all #StepUp
Today I spoke with the leaders of MN hospitals. Medical workers are doing an incredible job even while putting themselves at risk. That’s why I’m pushing for legislation to expand access to testing and to get supplies to health care providers.

Hi Ilhan! Check out how high school and college students are doing their part to #PutPeopleFirst in MN communities and across the country! We are ready to do what we can to keep MN communities healthy and safe!
Evictions should be halted. Healthcare should be universal. Student debt should be canceled. Bill payments should be suspended. We need to #PutPeopleFirst.

Just signed up for @StepUptoSIT to help our city's health care workers with childcare when the time comes!
With Minnesota schools closing Wednesday due to the governor's #COVID19 declaration, health care workers have a sudden need for child care so they can stay on the job. #RochMN youth are helping to meet the need through @StepUptoSIT - Learn more: mayocl.in/2Qi7OOr

Thanks for helping us get the word out!
Sisters Hannah & Rio Pittock - off school because of COVID-19 - have created a platform to match willing teens with Mayo medical workers who need childcare. 40 matches in 4 days - with 160 teens registered. "We all have our part to play here," Hannah says. KARE@10pm
