You know what moms need more than flowers for #MothersDay ? Childcare, paid/family medical leave, fair pay, abortion access, aging & disability care. Democrats have been pushing these policies, while Republicans block. Shame on Republicans. #MomsPowerUS newsweek.com/power-moms-opi…

Many immigrants struggle with accessing mental health care because of immigration status, finances, or stigma.

Each of us should be able to access the care we need without barriers.

✊ Sign the with our partners as they spotlight on the true cost of care and demand the funding, we need for a 21st century child care system. #DWOCC24 brnw.ch/21wJIoH

We’re joining @commchangeact for their 3rd Annual #DayWithoutChildCare ! 🤝 We know that all our kids, no matter where they live or what they look like, deserve the same opportunity to thrive. That’s why on 5/13, we’re uniting for our 3rd annual #DWOCC24 . brnw.ch/21wJIcT

We must create a better future for families who struggle to find affordable child care and for the many child care providers earning poverty-level wages.

We are proud to support this initiative as we continue the fight for increased federal investments in #childcare .

Today is Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day. We must keep working towards a system where children have stable access to care to support their well-being. It's never too early to start supporting kids’ mental health. clasp.org/publications/r…

This #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth , we're shining a light on how failing to fund a child care system that guarantees care for every family & good wages and benefits for our providers is impacting mental health.

A thread! 🧵

Currently, child care is impossible to find and afford for most of us, causing huge financial and emotional stress. The financial and emotional stress of making low to no wages is hurting our child care providers, 95% of whom are women. #FundChildcare

Child care is essential support for all parents and caregivers—whether they work, stay home, attend school, or have other caregiving responsibilities. Everyone should have access to what they need to raise a family—including child care.
