SUMMARY:Everyday Heroes: Child Care is No Small Matter
DESCRIPTION:Join No Small Matter and their partners for a Facebook Live town hall and streaming premiere of the documentary No Small Matter (Executive Produced by Alfre Woodard). \nAbout the Event\nAmerica’s early learning infrastructure was fragile even before COVID-19. But the pandemic has pushed it to the brink of collapse. Half of all child care sites are currently shuttered\, and the ones that remain open do so at great risk to the health of providers and their families. With no other option but to stay home with their infants\, toddlers\, and preschoolers\, millions of parents will be unable to return to work\, paralyzing efforts to restart the nation’s economy. What has suddenly become searingly self-evident is that early education is essential. Put simply\, America doesn’t work without it. \nThat’s why on June 25\, ABCinemaNOW Live will present an unprecedented Facebook Live screening event designed to generate support for the urgent action needed to tackle America’s childcare crisis. Everyday Heroes: Celebrating Early Educators\, Supporting Families will feature the national streaming premiere of the documentary No Small Matter (Executive Produced by Alfre Woodard)\, followed by a live panel discussion highlighting the devastating impact of COVID-19 on children\, families\, and caregivers\, and in turn\, on the economy. Woven throughout the event will be video messages from celebrities\, cultural influencers\, and frontline workers thanking early educators for the challenging\, exhausting\, and essential work they do every day. \nLearn More\nVisit the event website and follow No Small Matter on Facebook to join this event.
