An important read from @nysfocus. "The governor’s budget proposal did not include new investments that advocates and legislators are pushing for, such as funding for the child care workforce."

From Long Island to Buffalo, our members are united in calling for an investment in the child care workforce! We cannot make child care work for every family if we don't pay the workforce!

We're committed to universal child care for all children and families in New York State. We're committed to a thriving wage for all early childhood educators in New York State. Because that's what universal means- ALL OF US. #NYSUniversalChildCare

On #MLKDay, we remember the life of a man dedicated to justice, and to eradicating poverty for all families. We share his commitment to creating just systems that work for children and families across New York.

The @timesunion Editorial Board is spot on. "We can build all the new facilities we want, but without people to staff them, they won’t make a difference...you can’t build an industry on that kind of workforce instability."

“Compensation for the child care workforce must be prioritized. We cannot improve access for families without fair compensation for the early childhood workforce," said Shoshana Hershkowitz, campaign manager for the Empire State Campaign for Child Care.

We're hearing a lot about affordability from the governor and legislature. Child care is crucial to making NY the best place to raise a child. It's time for universal child care. Full stop.

This quote from our member KT Korngold: is spot on: "This investment doesn't do anything to help us solve the problem of increased funding for the child care workforce, which is something...we have... been clamoring for."

We agree, @AndreaSCousins! #NYSUniversalChildCare is what NY families need!
"... Working parents deserve affordable, high-quality care for their children. [We are] continuing to fully fund our public schools, ensuring that every child, no matter their zip code, has the tools they need to succeed." #AffordableNY
