Children Can’t Vote, but Caregivers Can

Why is it so hard to find a safe place for your kid while you work? When you do find that place, why does it cost 2/3rds of your paycheck? Childcare is expensive, but it is necessary for parents to participate fully in our democracy. This week, NOW National President Christian F. Nunes is having a chat with Anne Hedgepeth, Chief of Policy and Advocacy at Child Care Aware® of America. They will talk about why affordable childcare is so tough to find for so many, how childcare is a feminist issue, and what policymakers and citizens alike can do about it. Take Action NOW: https://now.org/action-alert-urge-members-of-congress-to-fund-wic-snap-childcare-and-rental-assistance/ Register for the NOW Racial Justice Convening: https://now.org/rjc2024/   Listen to new episodes of Feminism NOW released every other Wednesday.
