I literally could not love this more.

Years ago, I had to leave a job I loved because we couldn’t find childcare. Too many working parents still face that struggle today.

Together with our partners in the The White House, we’re taking action to expand access to childcare & give everyone a chance to succeed.

What an honor to speak today The White House w/Neera Tanden🌻 Jennifer Klein Caitlin Codella #NancyLuc & Secretary Gina Raimondo about the urgent need to #solvechildcare

And how to address the immediate opportunities of the CHIPS requirement to expand #childcare options for families & communities

One year later, agencies—along with states, labor unions, employers, and others—have been stepping up to the challenge, helping expand and diversify the workforce by providing affordable, high-quality care and other supportive services.

The reality is, workers cannot reach good jobs or training if they can’t cover basic needs like child care and transportation. It’s exactly why President Biden directed every federal agency to help workers access supportive services, including care, in his Executive Order on Care.

Today, Secretary Gina Raimondo, Jennifer Klein, and I joined Governor Tina Kotek, Governor Kathy Hochul, Maura Healey, and business and care advocates from across the country to discuss President Biden' work to strengthen our nation's Care Economy and build a skilled, diverse workforce.

Glad to attend this The White House panel and hear Julie Kashen, Neera Tanden🌻, Secretary Gina Raimondo, Caitlin Codella, and Nancy Luc talk about why child care is needed to support tradeswomen and infrastructure projects. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
