[ [link removed] ]TAKE ACTION

Dear Friend,

Right now, Congress is rapidly finalizing the details of the budget that
will determine how much funding we have for child care and early learning.
This is the moment our movement has been waiting for. Because of your
actions, texts and calls now and over the years, we collectively let
Congress know that the lack of child care is NOT a game. 

We know this -- we are living this! In these weeks of crunch time between
summer and school: The lack of child care is not a game!

[ [link removed] ]Tell Congress to leave the games where they belong, with the kids!
That’s right, by clicking on this link, you can download our exclusive
CareLand board game, print it out, color it and (this is a great kid
activity too!) send back to us to tell Congress: We need child care NOW!

This interactive and powerful action that’s also fun for kids will further
the momentum to let Congress know that we need sufficient funding for
child care and early learning so that:

* No family pays more than 7% of their income on child care
* Child care providers are paid living, family supporting wages
* Families can find affordable, high-quality child care no matter where
they live

[ [link removed] ]Can you help us win child care for families? Click here to take our
CareLand coloring action that’s also a fun way to engage kids!

It’s so easy to take action. As easy as (and FUN!) as playing a game. See
the easy steps below:

 1. Download, print and color the image (you'll get it in an email after
you click [ [link removed] ]this link). 

 2. Write a small note on the back (if you want) telling your legislators
that, "We need them to invest in quality, affordable childcare for all
by funding in the upcoming reconciliation package." You can use your
own words or ours! 

 3. Take a fast picture of your printed out, colored-in game (cell phone
pictures are great!) and email it to [ mailto:[email protected] ][email protected]

 4. Then put it in an envelope, add a stamp to it, and mail it to:

MomsRising CareLand
3717 Boston St, #313
Baltimore, MD 21224

**BONUS: Take a picture of you with your printed out game and tweet it to
your member of Congress using the links below. Make sure to attach your
image before sending the tweet!



And that’s it! Once we receive the games from parents, kids, families and
caregivers from all over the nation, we will work to send a powerful
message by delivering it to Congress to tell them to [ [link removed] ]leave the games to
the kids and robustly fund child care in the final reconciliation package!

We know play is so important for a kid’s social, emotional and brain
development. Now it can also be part of making a difference to ensure that
our families are able to thrive. Sending in your CareLand coloring game
will be a fun and creative way to make our voices heard!

Thank you for all that you do!

– Nadia, Nina, Kristin, Gloria, and the whole MomsRising/MamásConPoder
team
