Can we save child care?

Right now, Congress is in the final days of negotiating the next stimulus package where they will decide the fate of child care.This is the final stretch and we need you shouting your support for child care as we work to get this over the finish line. Our most vulnerable children and families are suffering and a loss of child care will be devastating to them. Ohio cannot afford to lose the critical support that child care provides as more and more families begin to return to work and are in need of reliable child care.

This is why we are asking you to take a few minutes out of your day RIGHT NOW to contact your members of Congress about prioritizing child care in the next stimulus package. Even if you have already reached out, we need you to keep pushing the message.

Here’s how you can help:

1. Email, call, and tweet at your members by using our messaging platform by clicking here. The messages on our VoterVoice platform are being updated weekly, so send another message today even if you sent one last week. If you have existing relationships with your member’s office, this is the time to call them.

2. Reach out to your networks to let them know that their action is needed today. You can copy and paste this entire email message to forward on to your contacts or create your own message.

3. Promote this urgent ask on social media by sharing the video below on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

With your help, we are hopeful that Congress will prioritize child care in the final package. Ohio's child care industry simply cannot survive without a strong showing of child care supporters like yourself.
