There’s been plenty of chaos coming out of Washington
lately. A three-week long quest to find a MAGA GOP House Speaker. A
near-shutdown of the government. A loudly ticking clock until the next
potential shutdown (less than a month away).

But I’m working to make sure another big issue doesn’t get lost in the
shuffle: child care. Because, on October 1, emergency federal funding for
child care expired and fell off a cliff.

[ [link removed] ]Add your name if you agree that child care funding can’t fall by the
wayside, and let’s fight side by side to extend this critical support for
families — addressing this short-term crisis while we keep working towards
universal child care.

When the pandemic started, I fought alongside Senator Tina Smith to get
emergency resources to child care centers across the country.

We won, and it made a huge difference. Funding reached more than eight out
of every 10 child care providers nationwide, providing them with enough
money to raise wages temporarily for workers without raising costs for
parents. That support also meant millions more parents could go to work
knowing their children were in good hands.

But House Republicans didn’t lift a finger to extend that funding. Without
it, millions of families could have to scramble to find new child care,
not be able to go to work, or not be able to take a full shift. And
working families who need to arrange child care have barely been hanging
on as it is — struggling to preserve houses of cards that could fall apart
with just one light breeze. I’ve been there. When I had two little ones
and started my first big teaching job, I thought I was going to have to
quit, until my Aunt Bee moved in and rescued me, staying for 16 years.

I’ve been ringing every alarm bell I can find and calling on Congress to
extend this funding. And the Biden-Harris administration is in this fight,
too. This week, they’ve requested emergency supplemental funding for child
care as an ASAP priority — before the next shutdown deadline. I’ll do
everything I can to get this done for families and climb back up the child
care cliff.

But we can’t stop there. We had a child care crisis in America before the
pandemic, and we must take bold action to ensure access for every family
in the long run, after addressing this short-term crisis. I’ve got a plan
for that. Under my bill, half of all families would pay no more than $10 a
day for child care, costs would be capped for everyone, and child care
workers would get a raise — recognizing how they do some of the most
powerfully important work in the country.

Universal child care is good for working parents. It’s good for kids
who’ll lay the foundation for their education. It’s good for our economy.
It’s a win-win-win.

[ [link removed] ]If you’re with me, please add your name to let me know you agree that
we must extend critical child care funding. It’s important to show that
supporters in
Pennsylvania and across
the country are demanding that this is prioritized.

I’m staying on this — and
I know that it’s only possible because I’m fighting alongside people like
you.

Thanks for being a part of this,

Elizabeth
