#UniversalChildcare will be an #EconomicBenefit for NYC.

We 💙 LOVE 💙 to see it!
Universal childcare wouldn't just relieve working families of a massive cost burden. It improves the whole economy.

"There are a lot of reasons building a child care system that works for everyone is important to our children, to parents, to employers and to economic growth."
