Hello John,

As New York City prepares for a new mayoral administration and the state prepares for a new budget cycle, it’s important that our leaders in the legislature hear from us that universal child care is something that families across the state want and need.

Email Governor Hochul and your state legislators now to tell them that NYS Child Care for All is the path forward!

We released a new roadmap  as part of the Empire State Campaign for Child Care that urges state leaders to:

• Provide permanent support for the child care workforce

• Invest enough in the Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) to clear waitlists and ensure all eligible families can access CCAP during the transition to universal care

• Launch two “bridge” projects that move New York closer to truly universal, statewide child care

Thank you for taking action at a time when New York has a real chance to transform child care for families in every region of the state.
