Tell Congress that child care needs funding in the emergency stimulus package!
Monday, March 23 from 10:00 - 11:00 a.m. EDT
Join Child Care Aware® of America, NAEYC, the Early Care and Education Consortium, ZERO TO THREE and more, with thousands of your fellow child care professionals, advocates and allies for a #FundChildCare #ChildCareNow Twitter Storm.
The child care industry needs this funding so that they can afford to offer care to essential workers, to prevent tens of thousands of providers from losing their jobs, to stabilize the economy and to ensure their success in post-Coronavirus crisis.
Try these sample tweets and tag your Senators and Representatives.
- #Childcare is an essential service for essential workers. #FundChildCare so that we can be there for children and families who need us now, and those will need us in the future.
- #Childcare programs are closed to protect children and our communities. But without immediate assistance, they may never open again. Congress, don't let that happen. #FundChildCare with $50 billion in the emergency stimulus bill. #ChildCareNow
- America is on the verge of losing more than half of its #childcare programs in the next week IF there isn’t significant public investment & support so that they can compensate & retain staff, pay rent & cover fixed costs. Congress, #FundChildCare! #ChildCareNow
- I stand with #childcare advocates from around the United States asking @senatemajldr @SpeakerPelosi @SenSchumer @GOPLeader to #FundChildCare. With $50 billion in emergency stimulus funding you can keep the #childcare industry from collapsing: https://bit.ly/39aiHZm
