According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, as many as 100,000 Americans have been forced to stay home from work each month because of issues with childcare.
John, are you one of them? If so, we want to hear about your experience.
We're on a mission to collect your family's real struggles in the face of the childcare crisis. Your stories are crucial for lawmakers to grasp how their actions impact our families' ability to thrive.
So John: What was it like for your family searching for good, reliable childcare? What did you have to sacrifice to afford childcare? What tangled knot of plans have you had to put together just to get enough care to get you through a workday?
John, can you add your experience of what the childcare crisis looks like for you and your family?

On September 30, emergency pandemic funds that provided a lifeline for childcare providers and low-income families came to an end, making life that much harder for countless families. This is especially true for Black families and other families of color that experience job disruptions related to childcare problems at nearly double the rate of white parents.
The Biden administration submitted a funding request to Congress to provide $16 billion in childcare stabilization funding, in order to help keep childcare providers afloat, and we’re pushing elected officials hard to prioritize and invest in childcare as they debate emergency funding and annual spending bills.
Individual experiences explaining what this looks like in real life are a POWERFUL way to turn statistics into REAL stories of REAL families our lawmakers are elected to represent.
So, if you’ve struggled with childcare in any wayJohn – add your experience to our growing collection and help us push Congress to fix the childcare crisis.

The majority of domestic workers sit at the center of some of our nation’s most decisive issues because of who they are and what they do: they are women – mostly women of color, immigrants, mothers, and low-wage workers. They are impacted by almost every policy affecting the future of our economy, democracy and country.
Domestic workers can lead us toward a new, inclusive vision for the future for all of us -- and your grassroots support is the fuel that can get us there.
