Child Care is Essential Act
Congress can no longer sit on the sidelines watching as parents face an unprecedented struggle to work and care for their children during the pandemic. Parents are suffering. With many schools, camps, and child care facilities closed, millions of parents are left making impossible choices between raising their kids and earning a paycheck. This is not an individual issue. This is a systemic issue. And Congress must act now to put systems in place to support working parents.
Step one: Tell your legislator to support the Child Care is Essential Act (S. 3874/H.R 7027) to create a $50 billion Child Care Stabilization Fund so that child care providers, including child care centers, home based providers, and family child care homes, can reopen safely and stay afloat until they are able to reopen safely.
Step two: Are you a parent with childcare responsibilities during the pandemic? Share your story with us (or post a video) to help us advocate for better child care solutions.
