Dear Friend,
As important and fundamental as voting is, it can feel kind of, well, dry,
especially when we try to teach the young ones in our lives about this
important civic duty. The good news is we have a chance to put the FUN
back in this FUNdamental act of democracy by educating the future voters
in our lives while raising our collective voices on child care at the
ballot box this fall!

important journey of being an educated, empowered voter one day! And what
better way to do this than through BOOKS? Summer reading AND growing their
civic engagement muscles? It’s a win-win for democracy and a way to keep
them busy while you are forced to take work calls from your bathroom

Though summer reading can be a relaxing way to pass time, families just
can’t relax because child care continues to be inaccessible and
unaffordable with many paying a third of their take home pay to child care
[1], the annual price of infant child care across the country exceeding
the annual cost of in‑state tuition at a public four‑year university, [2]
and more than half of families live in child care deserts, where families
either have NO access to child care or there are not enough child care
providers available. [3]
[ [link removed] ]This is why families and kids NEED you to be heard! Click here to

We see you and thank you for everything you’ve done and will continue to

important actions to build a stronger and brighter democracy for those of
us here today and for future generations to come!
