This country would come to a halt without childcare.
But families can't afford it and providers can't keep the lights on.
That's because the economy isn't built for us—it's built for the wealthy.
We need universal childcare, not tax cuts for the rich. #DayWithoutChildCare

1 in 3 families spend more on childcare than on rent.
Childcare workers earn poverty wages—and their healthcare and SNAP benefits were cut to give the rich tax breaks.
Gas, groceries, rent, healthcare. All too expensive.

Today, childcare providers and parents across the country are on a national #DayWithoutChildCare strike.
This economy straight up does not run without childcare—but our country doesn't invest in it.
Instead of universal childcare, we keep giving tax breaks to the rich.
Enough.

Paid family leave was once expanding in corporate America. Now it’s quietly being scaled back.
On this #DayWithoutChildcare, support for working parents is shrinking as labor markets loosen and employers pull back on benefits.
The result is more risk pushed onto families.

Great to have Gregg support School Readiness Learning Academy at our #DayWithoutChildcare a few weeks ago. He has been in it with Monique from the beginning and knows it is way past time to #FundChildCare!
📣 Gregg Stumon is all hands on deck supporting his wife, Monique, in running a childcare center in North Minneapolis. Hear his powerful message to the #mnleg: “It’s time to #FundChildcare. It was past due. It should have been funded a long time ago.” 👏 @kcoumn.bsky.social
