“In the final days before the presidential election, Ms. Randolph said, she was determined to send women into the voting booth with one issue front and center: child care.”

Today is #ADayWithoutChildCare — a national day of action underscoring two facts:

1) Care work enables all other work.

2) America's child care system is in crisis.

To build an economy that works for everyone, we have to start by reimagining and revitalizing our care economy.

🧵It's been a busy day but the party isn't slowing down. Here's a thread of recent buzz around our #DayWithoutChildCare day of action happening all across the country:

"So we need to make sure that they have the tools, the resources, and the environment, and then we are valuing them as much as we value any other profession." - Anjanette Gautier Castro of @GoAustinVamos said it perfectly.

👀 Did you catch us on the @TODAYshow !! Kicking off #DayWithoutChildCare with this incredible piece that truly captures why our childcare system is in such a crisis — and why so many of us are showing up today to do something about it.

The power of organizing strikes again! Our partners @ParentVoicesCA & @CCPUCalifornia secured wins for young children, parents and child care providers across the state. Take a look at these key legislative wins ensuring that our communities can thrive. https://t.co/r146DrKPdK

BIG NEWS: The WH just called for $16B in funding to address the child care cliff facing our families. This $$$ is essential: 32% of providers we surveyed said they’re at risk of closing since stabilization grants expired. https://t.co/8QXwon4HqE

[Child Care for Every Family @CC4EFN]

The #MovementforChildCare met with staff from the @POTUS and @VP's offices yesterday to share our vision of a universal #childcare system that is rooted in racial and gender justice.

We must build a child care system that works for every family. Enough is enough.

[MaryAlice Parks @maryaliceparks]

Full statement below from @PressSec as White House tells me they will prioritize pushing for more child care funding

[Rep. Jimmy Gomez @RepJimmyGomez]

The state of our child care impacts our entire economy and forces parents, particularly mothers, out of the workforce.

We all pay the price of an underfunded system. It’s past time we ensure access to affordable, high-quality child care.

@momjustice @MJActionFund @Cribs2College "The demonstrators — a mix of child care and preschool providers, educators, and parents — say they appreciate Whitmer’s efforts to invest more heavily in child care, but they say it’s not enough."

That's RIGHT. ✊❤️
