Dear John, In honor of Mother’s Day this past weekend, I want to take a moment to highlight the urgent need to expand access to child care — an issue that greatly impacts mothers, parents, and guardians alike in New York City. Let’s start with some facts: Did you know that only 1 in 4 young children in NYC are in publicly-funded care? Or that women living with children are 2.5x more likely than men to say child care is the primary reason they’re out of work? The lack of affordable and accessible child care is a significant limitation on economic opportunity for so many New Yorkers. Meanwhile, the Adams Administration is slashing funding to New York City’s established promise of universal Pre-K for the City’s four-year-olds and 3K, an additional program for 3-year-olds. We need to invest in affordable and accessible child care, not scale back funding for these crucial programs. Child care should be available for all families. Expanding access to child care would not only provide robust benefits to our economy, but it would uplift thousands of NYC families in the process. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Thank you, Brad P.S. We celebrated Mother’s Day by watching a STREB Extreme Action performance. Meg and Marek both agree: your mom, your son, and really just about any other human being will be blown away!
