Take Action

Cut child care costs by half with this action

Congress is on its way to making HISTORIC investments in child care and other critical programs for families and we need YOUR voice to get this WIN over the finish line!

Tell Congress: Pass Build Back Better NOW!

The historic, much-needed investments in the Build Back Better package, including paid family / medical leave, childcare, home- and community-based services, the Child Tax Credit, addressing equity in maternal health, healthcare, and immigration reform, will be transformative for moms, women, and families.

Other countries support care, why don’t we?

Rich countries contribute an average of $14,000 per year for a toddler’s care, compared with just $500 in the U.S. We cannot sit idly as the U.S. keeps bottoming out on supporting kids, families, our businesses & economy: Tell Congress to ACT NOW!

Let’s keep WINNING, send a message to Congress!

Tell Congress to leave the games where they belong, with the kids! That’s right, by clicking on this link, you can download our exclusive CareLand board game, print it out, color it and (this is a great kid activity too!) send back to us to tell Congress: We need child care NOW!
