Men like J.D. Vance, Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and RFK Jr. want to control our bodies, our families, and our futures. Show them you aren’t afraid to break hearts (and fight for your rights) by making a special Valentine’s Day donation in their names to the National Women’s Law Center.
Regardless of where we are in the economic cycle, ensuring all families have access to affordable, high-quality child care will strengthen the economy. Even as we work toward this goal, it is important to recognize that child care is an essential and underutilized anti-recessionary tool, meriting additional investment and automatic expansion when unemployment rises. Expanding child care assistance meets the criteria of an effective anti-recessionary tool by providing:
- Children with stable, high-quality learning experiences
- Parents with the coverage they need to look for work, participate in job training, or seek additional education
- Families with help affording one of their biggest household expenses
- States with the support they need to continue investing in child care
- Providers with the help they need to stay in business and meet the needs of families
