Members of our campaign's steering committee came together yesterday from across the state to plan our work on how to make child care for every family and a thriving wage for early childhood educators a reality in NY. We're not giving up until it's done.

Joining our friends at @powherny.bsky.social in acknowledging Black Women's Equal Pay Day. The child care workforce is majority Black and brown women, and we won't stop fighting for the pay equity they deserve.

We're calling for at least $500M for the Child Care Assistance Program and at least $500M for the child care workforce. Our state cannot thrive unless we #FundChildCareNY

NYS can't achieve universal child care if we don't put $ in this year's budget. That means at least $500M for the child care workforce AND at least $500M for the Child Care Assistance Program. @leaderasc.bsky.social @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social @govkathyhochul.bsky.social

Low wages & staffing shortages harm providers. Long wait lists & high costs harm families. @leaderasc.bsky.social, @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social, @govkathyhochul.bsky.social, invest at least $500M in the child care workforce & at least $500M in the Child Care Assistance Program for a thriving NY!

@govkathyhochul.bsky.social to put NY on a path to universal child care, you must invest in a permanent compensation fund to recruit and retain child care educators, and increase funding for the Child Care Assistance Program, so thousands of families don't have their care interrupted.

We can't make NY affordable for families without child care. The time to provide compensation for early childhood educators and increase access to affordable child care for families is NOW. @nysenate.bsky.social and @nyassemblymajority.bsky.social must prioritize child care in this year's budgets.

Early childhood educators have gone without a living wage for too long! Because of low wages and staffing shortages, parents struggle to access child care. Albany must prioritize a permanent investment for early childhood educators in this year’s budget!

We cannot get to the goal of universal child care in New York State without investing in the early childhood workforce. We must include a permanent investment in this year's budget!
