Over 140 organizations across NY signed on to our letter to @governor.ny.gov to adopt our platform for a child care system that serves families across the state equitably, pays educators a thriving wage, and delivers for all.

Clearing the CCAP waiting list is a simple, low-cost first step Mayor Mamdani can take right away toward #NYchildcareforall, and one that would quickly benefit thousands of families in the city, while also bolstering desperately underpaid child care providers www.centernyc.org/urban-matter...

"As Zohran Mamdani, the mayor-elect of New York City, prepares to go to...the State Capitol over his campaign promise to provide universal government-funded child care, he appears to have New Yorkers on his side."

As the government shutdown continues, Head Start closures have now left over 8,000 children and families without care. Congress must extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits, reopen the government, and deliver the programs people rely on. nhsa.app.box.com/s/9wlp8e6em4...

Last night wasn’t just about winning elections. Last night, hope won. Candidates in Oregon & across the country should be taking notes: if you aren’t running on #universalchildcare, you’re already behind. What's more: it was proven that when we band together across race, class, & geography, we win.

We look forward to being a resource for Mayor Elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social to deliver universal child care. Our coalition of policy advocates, parents, and child care providers of all modalities are here to help ensure an equitable, successful implementation!
