Tune in to @momsrising.org to hear first-hand experiences of moms talking about the ever-worsening affordability crisis with @demwomencaucus.bsky.social and the Mamas' Caucus. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxBC... #AffordabilityChaos #MomReceipts

Caregiving is one of the biggest affordability challenges facing American families. Today, we joined leaders, advocates, and experts at the Congressional Dads Caucus on the Caregiving Crisis to discuss solutions that can bridge the gaps in America’s caregiving economy.

NEW: Today, we joined @aclu.org to hold this administration accountable for its unlawful enhanced Defend the Spend policy & putting child care funding in a pointless administrative chokehold. We urge the Department of Health and Human Services to comply with our request for information immediately.

Child care providers are receiving death threats, facing armed interrogations, and closing their services out of fear. Why? Because Republicans sent a MAGA influencer to harass child care workers about claims of fraud that are unsubstantiated.  Women are not safe in Trump’s America.

Let's be clear: The Trump administration is punishing children, families, and hardworking child care providers because of a racist and fraudulent conspiracy theory posted by a bigoted YouTube account. This is not how a democracy should run.

A new public charge proposal would create barriers for millions of immigrant families seeking essential health, nutrition, & economic supports. Sign your organization onto the @pifcoalition.bsky.social comment by 12/18 to stand with immigrants & #ProtectFamilies: bit.ly/pif-public-charge

Yesterday, 33 advocates from across the country joined us on Capitol Hill to urge lawmakers to prioritize families, children, and early educators. With rising child care costs, low pay for educators, and threats to Medicaid and SNAP, robust federal investment in child care is more urgent than ever.

New Yorkers kept telling me the same thing: they’re thinking of leaving because they can’t afford to raise their kids here. Universal childcare isn’t just a promise — it’s how we make this a city for everyone.

Celebrating the release of Miss Diana, the Chicago early educator who was ripped from her classroom last week. We urge Congress to pass an updated #SensitiveLocationsAct that prohibits horrific and unnecessary violence by ICE at #childcare programs and schools. abcnews.go.com/US/chicago-d...

Children with disabilities rely on programs like CCDBG, Head Start, IDEA, and Medicaid for care and early education. But the Trump administration is jeopardizing them all—with a $1T Medicaid cut, a shutdown closing Head Start programs, and now gutting the department that oversees special education.

Getting new details on this now: As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.

The taking of neighbors in communities around the country is so horrific. And, right here - how can anyone justify this - violently taking a child care teacher out of her classroom? Enraging is too weak a word to describe this. #Momsky activate.

A federal judge blocked Trump's illegal move to push immigrant kids out of Head Start. This means children can keep learning and thriving without fear of being excluded—for now. But the fight isn't over. We'll keep advocating until every child's right to early education is secure.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to raise their voices to protect the Head Start program!

Thank you to the 587,551 individuals and organizations who commented on how harmful this racist and xenophobic change to eligibility for #HeadStart and other programs would be to our communities, families, and children. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/... #immigration

We only have one day left to comment - act now! #HeadStart

Despite relentless attacks on #HeadStart, the program plays a crucial role in supporting children’s early education & community leaders are speaking out. Learn more about the importance of Head Start for communities across the country ⬇️ www.americanprogress.org/article/we-a...

The Trump administration is suddenly changing the rules to block many immigrant families from #HeadStart. They need to know we are paying attention and we oppose limiting immigrant kids’ access to early education. Take action now: act.nwlc.org/a/headstart-...

While billionaires get tax breaks, families can’t even find affordable child care. Thank you @murray.senate.gov & @bobbyscott.house.gov for putting families first with the Child Care for Working Families Act. It’s time our policies worked for children and early educators—not billionaires.

BREAKING: The Trump administration is attempting to block certain immigrants from accessing federal programs like early education, family planning, mental health, and substance abuse programs—using a rushed process to limit public pushback. Read our full statement: nwlc.org/press-releas...

It’s not too late. Call your Member of Congress now: act.nwlc.org/a/budget-calls

As we wrap #ImmigrantHeritageMonth, we’re naming what’s at stake: immigrant women are the heart of child care, yet the Trump administration’s harmful policies are pushing them out. Our brief with @weareunidosus.bsky.social shows how these choices threaten their futures—and our care system.

Sen. Tillis told the truth last night about the Big Ugly Bill racing through the Senate right now. Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of working people & families. Anything short of a full rejection is a betrayal. We need other Republican senators to join him: text NOCUTS to 32434 to take action.

Fresh off the presses with @jessicamason.bsky.social: Americans’ unpaid caregiving is worth more than $1.1 trillion annually – and women are doing almost two-thirds of the work. #CareCantWait nationalpartnership.org/if-americans...

Excited to see CNN cite a critical fact sheet by @heyitskarla.bsky.social. Check it out here: nwlc.org/resource/fou...

Gaps in state child care assistance policies are leaving families without affordable care. Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress are working to gut crucial supports for families such as SNAP & Medicaid this week—all to fund tax breaks for billionaires. Learn more: nwlc.org/resource/dec...

The economic incentive to exploit women has become stronger in recent decades because of Baumol's cost disease. Automation/outsourcing lowered the cost of other goods/services but not care. So it's increasingly hard to meet care needs without cutting profit www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/697130...

In 2023, working moms were paid just 74 cents for every dollar dads were paid. That lost $19K each year could have paid for more than six months of groceries, six months of child care, and five months of rent. #MomsEqualPayDay nwlc.org/resource/equ...

For 100 days, we’ve been pushing back against the astounding array of threats to kids from the Trump Administration. We’ll keep you informed on the most urgent issues & we hope you join us as we continue to fight to protect the education, health, & well-being of all kids.

BREAKING: We're suing the Trump administration to protect Head Start, which provides early education, childcare, and other services for low-income children and their families. President Trump doesn’t have the authority to dismantle this vital program.

Immigrant women are the cornerstone of our care workforce. From child care to aging and disability care, they hold families together — but Trump’s anti-immigration policies are pushing them to the brink. 

"Childcare access remains limited for many Tri-Cities families. Less than one-third of local families needing care for their kids between the ages of 3 and 5 are able to access it." Yet, the Administration is making it even more difficult for families. www.tri-cityherald.com/news/local/e...

This #TaxDay, we're dreaming of what a brighter future could look like. One where billionaires pay their fair share of taxes & the tax code prioritizes women and children. See what that future could be if Congress puts families over billionaires: app.sosha.ai/s/VfVzsnlo

The latest from the Project 2025 playbook? Trump's budget proposal is aiming to eliminate all funding for Head Start, which serves over 750,000 kids. This would devastate families and communities already hanging by a thread. www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

“It’s important to keep in mind that this was in Project 2025, & it’s been a goal of the conservative movement for a long time. It’s death by a thousand cuts. It’s not like they’re wiping it all out in one day, but they’re tearing it apart bit by bit.” #childcare www.fastcompany.com/91314832/how...

Congressional Republicans' budget bill would slash funding for programs that help families afford the cost of care, all while families are scrambling to find the caregiving support they need.  Tell Congress: Don't cut care to pay for billionaire tax cuts! https://on.nwlc.org/nobillionairebreaks

Kids who don’t have enough to eat. Parents who can’t afford #childcare. Veteran families without healthcare. These are the people Congress should prioritize—instead, they’re working to give new tax breaks to billionaires. Take action now: on.nwlc.org/nocuts

The US Senate is voting on the GOP plan that gives $4.5 TRILLION in tax breaks to billionaires & corporations and cuts our families' health care, education, nutrition, & #childcare. CALL YOUR SENATORS NOW & urge them to say NO to tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy! actionnetwork.org/call_campaig...

Joel Ryan, head of the WA State Association of Head Start, is worried the admin is dismantling the program without outright eliminating it. “It doesn’t have to be from an act of Congress - you can kneecap programs simply by cutting significant numbers of their workforce.” apnews.com/article/head...

DOGE’s latest assault on federal workers is targeting its littlest beneficiaries: infants and toddlers. These attacks do nothing for "efficiency." Its only purpose is to free up more money for new billionaire tax cuts. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Last chance to call: The CR does not simply kick the can through September: it gives Trump new power to decide how taxpayer dollars are spent, takes resources away from health care and education, guts local DC funding, and boosts funding for the Pentagon & mass deportations. act.nwlc.org/a/cr-call

🚨 URGENT: Call your senators & tell them to VOTE NO on the House long-term continuing resolution that hurts women, children, and families and gives vast discretion to Trump & Elon Musk. It also guts local funding for DC & invests in harsh immigration policies: act.nwlcactionfund.org/a/cr-2025

Nearly 40,000 children would lose access to child care under House Republicans’ proposed federal budget cuts. This will hurt children, families, and the economy. Read CLASP’s new analysis: www.clasp.org/publications...

Also, while this order may not apply to military personnel, let me tell you about how it will impact veterans. Veterans are especially likely to work for the federal government: nearly 1 in 5 federal workers are veterans, compared to fewer than 1 in 20 workers overall.

A new @nwlc.org analysis reveals that a family must make over $180k/yr to reasonably afford infant #childcare. This analysis comes as Republicans seek to cut funding for child care to pay for billionaire tax cuts, leading to higher costs & less supply for families. nwlc.org/resource/chi...

A week after Trump illegally froze federal funding, many Head Start programs are still not able to access the money they need to keep their staff paid and doors open. Children, families, and early educators in communities across the country are the ones left in the lurch.

🚨S.5 isn’t about public safety—it’s a backdoor to mass detention and deportation. This bill targets DACA recipients, strips due process, and tears apart immigrant families. Senators, we urge you to stand for justice, protect communities, and vote NO.
