Friend,
There is a childcare crisis in America.
More and more Americans are struggling to make ends meet, and working parents are spending a shocking percentage of their income simply to pay for childcare.
Half of new parents have to spend at least 20% of their income on childcare. Single parents earning an average wage have to spend 35% of their income.
And the problem is getting worse. Real wages are stagnant, and childcare costs are growing even faster than inflation.
We have to fix this.
Sign if you agree: Congress must take action to cap childcare costs.
The lack of affordable, quality childcare is a national problem and requires a comprehensive national solution. We can’t be distracted by bogus excuses like “we can’t afford it.” The average wealthy democracy contributes 28 times more than the United States to support its citizens’ childcare needs. Canada, for example, just made quality childcare available for just $10 a day. In one of the world’s wealthiest countries, why can’t we do the same?
TAKE ACTION: Sign the petition telling Congress to cap costs for quality childcare.
Onward,
Ro
