ALT Can you write alt text for this? Child Action graphic reading “Happy Halloween!” in bold white and orange-red lettering on a dark navy background. Playful illustrations surround the text: swirling blue shapes, blue clouds, a white crescent moon, small white stars, two friendly white ghosts, and two white bats. The Child Action logo sits at the bottom center.

ALT Graphic with a large quotation mark and a small headshot of Adonai Mack. Text reads: "Progress happens through partnership. Our role is not only to advocate for change, but to help build the solutions that make the child care system work better for families and providers. Adonai Mack, CEO, Child Action. Read the full recap at childaction.org/news." The closing slide shows childaction.org/news, while the caption links to the full recap URL. That works fine, but make sure the recap is easy to find from the news page.
