John,
There’s a chronic underinvestment in child care and support for working families, and we’ve seen the effects of that play out through the pandemic. From nearly 3 million women leaving the workforce to child care costs being more than the average working family can afford to most child care givers not making a livable wage, one thing has become abundantly clear: The child care market is broken.
Our country needs significant investments to truly provide high-quality child care from our government. Because when we invest in child care, we invest in our economy.
John, as one of the few single working mothers in Congress, Katie Porter has brought the conversation around child care to the national stage. Now, she’s taking on the fight to fix and fund our broken child care market. Can you make a donation towards her re-election campaign today to show your support for Katie and these righteous fights?
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the average family of three is paying over $1,300 per month for child care—coming out to nearly $16,000 per year. That is approximately 21 percent of that family’s average income.
Parents shouldn’t have to choose between groceries or caring for their child, John. Our workforce is stronger when parents aren't forced to choose between their jobs and caring for their kids. As Katie says: Just as you take a road to get to your workplace, child care is infrastructure that allows people to work.
