Thank you to State Senators for giving 1st-round approval to #LB856 today! Sen.@JohnforNE's priority bill provides no-cost care for #childcare workers' own children, regardless of income. It aims to grow childcare availability so more parents can join the state's workforce.#NEleg
#childcare providers are envious of #teachers...of the outcry that you are being asked to take unbelievable personal risk when you return to your classrooms...of the system that has continued to support you financially while you have not been asked to be physically present yet.
The American economy cannot recover if the child care industry fails. I'm urging @RepAdrianSmith to #savechildcare and ensure the #COVID19 recovery package includes a child care stabilization fund. https://t.co/O7M3XyC0ao

Governors prematurely opening their economies are continuing a longstanding tradition of taking care work for granted.
As I write @newsweek "Any attempt to bring our economy back is hollow if it fails to strengthen the child care industry & its workers"

The Western Childcare Collaborative would like to thank the groups in Nebraska that have advocated for childcare providers during this time! We have sent out the following thank you to those agencies! @HeatherAnnGill
Here’s the stark truth: we won’t be able to send people back to work & rebuild our economy when the time comes if our child care system collapses during this pandemic. That’s why @SenTinaSmith & I have a plan for a $50 billion child care bailout. https://t.co/QYL80ya1L9
1/2 "Before COVID-19, failure to recognize importance of #childcare to national economic health & household stability starved the sector of public funds it needs; the result: both providers & families are operating on margins that barely keep them afloat" https://t.co/tJGqJvceKd
