School-age child care is crucial for Black and brown mothers, who are more likely to be a household's primary earner. During the pandemic it has been increasingly hard to come by as programs are shut out of school buildings. We need the NYS budget to invest and #SaveNYChildCare

Parents of color experienced job disruptions more than white parents due to breakdowns in child care before the pandemic. In the last year, this disparity has only widened. NYS cannot recover without investing in child care that meets the needs of these families. #SaveNYChildCare
