Baby Mylo said it best. Congress must stop playing politics with children’s lives. Families need solutions, not more chaos & cuts. They must pass a spending bill that invests in children, maintains health coverage and puts protections in place to ensure funding reaches families.

Early childhood educators earn just $13/hour. Parents spend up to 35% of their income on care. Centers are closing, and families face impossible choices.

Child care shouldn’t cost more than college. Or pay less than minimum wage.
Families can’t afford it. Centers are struggling to stay open. Early childhood educators deserve better.

"Without NC Medicaid, I may have tried to wait things out at home instead of advocating for myself. Medicaid meant I didn’t have to choose between the hospital bill and getting help for myself and my baby. It meant I could focus on surviving and caring for my daughter." - Angel P., North Carolina
