Day Without Child Care Pledge
Sign The Pledge
About
We have reached our tipping point.
For generations, early childhood educators, parents, families, and caregivers have been fighting for equitable access to affordable child care, better pay, and working conditions for providers. So on May 12, we’re taking action: some childcare providers, with the support of the families they serve, are shutting their doors, some are calling out sick or closing down early, and all of us are standing in solidarity to draw attention to the national crisis that our childcare system is in.
On a “Day Without Child Care,” we pledge to spotlight the true cost of care and demand the funding we need for a 21st-century childcare system.
Our demands include:
- An equitable childcare system built on racial and gender justice
- Thriving wages for childcare providers
- Affordable and accessible child care for all families.
Last year, over 1,000 providers closed their doors
and over 3,000 people pledged to take action with us for Community Change Action’s third annual Day Without Child Care. Every year since its inception, our movement has grown and gained support from providers, parents, and allies across America. As our childcare crisis continues to grow and impact workers, families, and small businesses, we anticipate a historic turnout for this year’s Day Without Child Care so we can demonstrate to our elected leaders that solving our childcare crisis and giving families what they need are more important than billionaires.
