Today, we are launching a new campaign to reinvigorate the critical need for child care relief funding.
Over the past couple of months, there have been over 4,000 messages sent to Ohio's Congressional Delegation in support of child care andyour voices are being heard. The momentum is building as many members of Congress on both sides of the aisle are now prioritizing child care relief in conversations around upcoming funding packages. As Congress considers the Child Care is Essential Act in the coming weeks, which would include $50 billion in emergency funding to support child care,we need you to reach out to Congress urging them to fund child care, even if you have already reached out in the past.We created a template for you to email, call, and tweet at Congress -- all you need to do is input your contact information.
Want to increase your impact? Share this message with family, friends, and colleagues now by using our social media toolkit.
