.@dollyslibrary fits right into the Governor’s Affordability Agenda. Books are expensive and families sometimes struggle to access libraries. This program’s free books will make a big difference to families across NYS. Please fund Dolly!

We need @GovKathyHochul@AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie to invest in child care in this year's budget. Families cannot afford to lose their access to child care assistance. Providers cannot afford to lose families. #FundChildCareNY

So grateful to our amazing child care champions @SenatorBrisport@AM_AndrewHevesi@SenatorBrouk and @sarahhartclark for their tireless work to pass statewide presumptive eligibility and decoupling today! Together, we can win big for NY's families and early childhood educators.
A. 1303-A has passed the Assembly! This bill would eliminate a minimum earnings requirement for parents and caretakers to be eligible for child care assistance. Now we need the Senate to pass it!. @AndreaSCousins, please pass S04924-A today!
Access to affordable, quality child care is crucial for economic security. It allows parents to participate fully in the workforce. We cannot leave Albany until we pass my bill, S4677A, to remove waiting periods blocking access to childcare assistance for NY's vulnerable families
@sarahhartclark@SenatorBrouk@EmpireStateCCC Proud to stand with you earlier today and so much fun to watch you crush it on the softball field tonight! I hope you heard me cheering you on 👏💪
I joined @albanypolice officers to announce my bill that would provide grants for police departments to open child care centers for kids of their officers.
Police officers deserve the support and resources needed to do their jobs well, which includes accessible child care.
@GovKathyHochul @carlheastie @AndreaSCousins: NY families deserve a better, fairer tax credit. Expand the child tax credit this year, and get families what they need! #NYWFTC
New Yorkers deserve affordable, high quality child care. The child care workforce deserves a thriving wage. @GovKathyHochul, It's time to stop putting band aids on this issue. Invest $500M in permanent workforce compensation in the 2024 budget. #NYSUniversalChildCare
Too many families can't find a child care slot for their children. We need to invest in the child care workforce. @AndreaSCousins, @CarlHeastie, support $500M in a permanent workforce compensation fund for the child care workforce in this year's budget. #NYSUniversalChildCare
As you may have heard, there is conflicting budget language regarding the cola funding being added by the Legislature. We need a flexible cola for ALL WOKERS and COSTS. Remember these folks showed up during COVID.
Please call today and tomorrow .
@GovKathyHochul: please support Senate Bill 8514A/Assembly Bill 9652A to expand Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library program statewide. Advancing literacy skills for children from birth is paramount to the lives of New York children and families. (🧵)
If indeed the Governor is going to announce a framework for a budget deal later today, the 3.2% Full Flexible COLA Language must be in there to help continue funding for the not for profits including mental health @GovKathyHochul@AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie @NYSomh
