Join providers, parents, advocates and allies from across the United States as we call on Congress to save child care and pass legislation with at least $50 billion in funding for the industry. Chronically underfunded and operating with razor thin margins even before the pandemic, our child care system is in a crisis. Currently the industry is operating at approximately 80% capacity and of those open: 70% are spending more on cleaning supplies and personal protective equipment 73% have made layoffs, furloughs and/or pay cuts 86% are serving fewer children Without additional funding, 47% will close. We know that the child care industry is critical for families and our economy. If there is no child care, there is no recovery. #FundChildCare to #SaveChildCare TweetSharePinShare
