If federal proposed cuts to Medi-Cal pass, a family in #SanBernardino could have to choose between paying for an inhaler for their kid, or groceries.
Medi-Cal is literally the difference between having food on the table or not for CA's children.

Today is #DayWithoutChildCare. Re-sharing this graphic, done with @femiwonk.bsky.social, highlighting what's at stake if families lose their child care. Meanwhile, Republican-driven tax breaks would exacerbate wealth inequities. The quotes (ty @ccrc4kids.bsky.social ) truly drive this point home!

Standing with @ccpucalifornia.bsky.social as they go into another round of contract negotiations with the state today.
Child care providers can't wait any longer to be paid the true cost of care. And, healthcare and retirement benefits are critical & need to be preserved.

As we wait for CA's full Jan budget details on Fri, keeping a close eye on how child care providers are included as part of the Gov's vision for CA's workforce.
As shared, CA's workforce system "has a lot of gaps and a lot more work." Fair wages for ECE providers is one of those key gaps to fill.
