In January, a new session of the U.S. Congress will begin, but the current Congress still has work to do before they adjourn. As COVID-19 continues to spread throughout Alaska and the country, the child care sector is in urgent need of support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now is the time to tell Congress they must pass a COVID-19 relief package that includes at least $50 billion in dedicated funding for child care<\/strong>. This support is essential to ensuring child care programs have the resources they need to stay open and support families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Send a message to our U.S. Senators today! Let them know that we need the final bill to include at least $50 billion in dedicated child care funding to save our child care system<\/strong>. Without child care, there will be no economic recovery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Even if you have reached out in the past, thread<\/strong> encourages you to continue advocating on behalf of Alaska’s child care sector and to share your story<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you for your advocacy and letting our leaders know how vital child care is to families across the country\u2014and in Alaska. <\/p>\n\n\n\nYou can help!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
