I was five when they put me, my family, and 120,000 others, two-thirds of whom were American citizens, into internment camps because we happened to look like the people who had bombed Pearl Harbor. I learned about race early.
When the best child care workers have to leave their jobs because they don't earn enough to support their own families, all of our families suffer. We need to pass the #BuildBackBetter Agenda to get them the pay they deserve and end the child care crisis for working families.
