Amazing work by ECE ON THE MOVE who organized the march to Governor Kathy Hochul's office calling for a child care system that pays providers a thriving wage and gives families the care they need and deserve!

Powerful message from ECE ON THE MOVE and other members of Empire State Campaign for Child Care: imagine a #daywithoutchildcare -works stops or slows, children’s routines and stability are upended. Lets make a sustained public investment in the child care workforce and avoid such days!

After many difficult weeks as a USC parent, this restores some of my Trojan pride. What a joyful celebration of USC’s remarkable valedictorian, Asna Tabassum!!

🧵Federal Tax Credits Should Go Directly to Families, Not Just Industry - a thread inspired by President Biden and Chuck Schumer's visit to Syracuse today, celebrating the deal that will bring Micron Technologies to town- funded in part through the federal CHIPS Act scaany.org/syracuse-tax-c…

Thank you Jabari Brisport and Andrew Hevesi for fighting so hard with Empire State Campaign for Child Care to fend off cuts & secure more funds for the child care workforce. Count on us to keep fighting with you to right this wrong. TY also to Sarah Clark Harry B. Bronson NYS Senator Samra Brouk & more!

I’m sorry.. action when? I’m hearing a lot about child care and our tins are still empty.

Appreciate Governor Kathy Hochul’s longtime leadership on child care, but her child care budget proposals this year fall short. Hoping today’s remarks signal an intention to adopt the Legislature’s proposals to increase funding for the childcare workforce and make it permanent.

Crazy thought: state leaders could act to reach the statutorily agreed upon goal of cutting child poverty in half by 2032 early, rather than procrastinating til the night before the deadline. … #NYEndChildPoverty #NYWFTC

Hoping Governor Kathy Hochul Sen. Stewart-Cousins Carl E. Heastie read this before finalizing #NYSBudget . It explains why NY must make a substantial, permanent investment in the child care workforce if NY is truly committed to creating a more affordable state for families. Empire State Campaign for Child Care

We need YOU to call the state leadership and make the case for a PERMANENT investment in the child care workforce! The time is now!
