Thanks @JabariBrisport @AndrewHevesi! This is one of the top concerns we hear from child care providers in settlement houses about access to care so we know this will help a lot of people!

We join our friends in @EmpireStateCCC in celebrating the passage of S 6665 A 7661 in which takes down unnecessary barriers to children getting early education!

Thanks to @JabariBrisport & @AM_AndrewHevesi fore championing this bill!

[Gregory Brender @Gregorybrender]

Important legislation has now passed both the Senate & Assembly that eliminates outdated requirements that prevent working families from accessing child care. @GovKathyHochul please sign S6665 A7661 into law.

[PCANY @PCA_NY]

On the path to #NYSUniversalChildCare, we’re committed to prioritizing families and children who have been excluded by our broken child care system for too long. @GovKathyHochul, do not leave New York’s immigrant families behind in this year’s budget!

[Diana #cancelstudentdebt @dianalimongi]

As a mom who has a 5 year old and a 10 year old... I can tell you that parents NEED AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMMING in order to work FT. If you don't include child care for 5-12 year olds, you're telling moms (yes, mostly moms) that they cannot work FT-- #NYSUniversalChildcare

[Day Care Council of New York @DCCNYINC]

DCCNY is thrilled that the State Assembly has passed bills to make is easier for families to access child care. We urge the State Senate and @GovKathyHochul to ensure these bills become law!

[All Our Kin @AllOurKin]

Budgets are about priorities. We need @GovKathyHochul to prioritize ALL New York families and child care providers — including immigrants — in the final state budget. #NYSUniversalChildCare.

[Jess Wisneski @jesswisneski]

We are obligated to get #universalchildcare right for our families, for our economy, for our kids and childcare workers. @citizenactionny leaders statewide are calling for a BIG investment this year. Thank you @NYSenate @NYSA_Majority for your $3B investment in our communities.

“We’re clearly on a path to reach a full, universal system in which all people are eligible for subsidized #ChildCare." Says NY State Senator @JabariBrisport. Advocates, families, and child care teachers from @EmpireStateCCC aren't messing around... https://t.co/fAGWyyQlop

New York is considering big changes to childcare: I took a look at three of the paths, and the state of the industry: https://t.co/QJOUcTe96y

Finally got this powerful moment by @JabariBrisport from the #NYSUniversalChildCare rally in front of @GovKathyHochul’s office captured and captioned.

We need $3bn for child care and #NotAPennyLess!

[ChildCareConnections @CCConnectionsny]

For too long, underinvestment has meant the child care system is subsidized by the poverty wages of child care providers. Investment in #NYSUniversalChildCare means investment in a thriving wage for child care providers, @GovKathyHochul, @AndreaSCousins, and @CarlHeastie!

[Jennifer Perney @Jperney115]

I just wrote a @AQE_NY letter: We need not a penny less than $3 billion for child care. Write one here: https://t.co/ASUKX9Q4nt

[Empire State Campaign for Child Care @EmpireStateCCC]

Budgets are about priorities. We need @GovKathyHochul, Senate Majority Leader @AndreaSCousins and Speaker @CarlHeastie to put families first! Email them now to tell them we need not a penny less than $3B in the final budget for #NYSUniversalChildCare
