Highlighting another one on Childcare UNAffordability Day...
These numbers are crazy - more than tuition at the U of M!

Why is this still a debate we know what child development happens from birth to five since 1700’s during Locke and Rousseau‘s time? Maybe as Rep Porter said we need a Congress that reflects the people to pass what the people need. youtu.be/d59kfp7CNCk?si…

Today is "Childcare UNAffordability Day"!
The average MN family of four has already paid 7% of their annual income toward childcare in 2024. 7% is the amount that is considered affordable for the WHOLE year! And we've got 8 months of the year to go!

Monday, April 29 is "Childcare UNAffordability Day"! It's the day of the year when the average MN family with 2 kids in childcare has ALREADY paid 7% of their annual income for childcare #mnleg! We've got work to do.

How do you plan to bring attention to the childcare crisis that still very much exists in Minnesota on May 13? We'll be at the Capitol with providers from the Iron Range who are shutting down their centers, teachers, and parents to call for #mnleg to #SolveChildCare!
"While many economists are celebrating that the country appears to no longer be headed for a recession, many are forgetting to explore a crumbling pillar for families: childcare."
Yep #affordablechildcare#SolveChildCare#mnleg

Check out Kids Count on Us leader, Laura Douglas, on PBS! She shares her story about how the MN child tax credit is helping her family. She works in childcare, so it's also a reminder that we need to pay childcare workers living wages! #SolveChildCarepbs.org/newshour/show/…
Some of our favorites from yesterday! We love seeing providers, teachers, parents, and KIDS telling #mnleg that they matter and that childcare and early learning deserves to be funded like the public good it is!
#affordablechildcare#SolveChildCare#GreatStartMN
We only fell short in the $ part, but we flipped the narrative this session so that next session, #mnleg will be ready to pass #affordablechildcare!
Push for more Minnesota child care funding falls short as legislative session winds down mprnews.org/story/2024/04/…
Indeed! Grandparents are all in too because every child, black, brown or white, urban or rural, from family of means or not, deserves a great start to our school system. Nice to hear my mayor is all in!
