- Reposted by Child Care for Every FamilyThe child care system is under attack. Threatening funding cuts undermines program integrity & risks care for children. And empowering “citizen journalists” to do the work of gov’t investigators endangers early educators & children. S/o @kcpeeks.bsky.social www.americanprogress.org/article/trum...
- “The work really started years and years ago,” said Paluso, Co-Director of @childcareforeveryfamily.org. Groups like @olenm.bsky.social spent more than a decade “organizing providers & parents" before securing significant victories. #FundChildCare www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

- “So many programs are already hanging on by a thread, and I’m fearful of what this could mean for my family and for other working families in my community,” Khalid said. “Our children’s care and education should never be used as a political pawn.” www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
- 📣 FUND CHILD CARE, NOT ICE. Our #childcare system needs to be FUNDED…not frozen. Parents, kids, and child care providers cannot go one day without access to care.
- A freeze on funding is a freeze on our families. People won’t be able to go to work, and could quickly lose their jobs, homes, and more. Kids won’t have access to the care, learning, and routine they count on. This is not a game. #FundChildCare
- Reposted by Child Care for Every FamilyAs @repstansbury.bsky.social said in today’s Oversight hearing, the admin’s attacks on child care are part of a larger effort to defund social services. These attacks make child care more expensive for families, make children less safe, and make it harder for programs to stay open #FundChildCare
- The Trump Administration has frozen federal child care funding in Minnesota, putting over 20,000 children at risk of losing care, destabilizing working families, and threatening the livelihoods of child care providers. Read more: childcareforeveryfamily.org/news #FundChildCare #ReleaseTheFunds

- Reposted by Child Care for Every FamilyFrom Ruth Friedman: Our child care system doesn’t work, making life worse for millions of families. Republicans claim to be lowering costs, but minor tax credits are no substitute for effective solutions to make child care affordable. Instead, R's are making the crisis worse tcf.org/content/comm...
- As Republicans push us into a shutdown because they want to slash funding for basic needs like health care, Democrats are offering real proposals to #FundChildCare. We're excited to endorse the Child Care for Every Community Act, introduced this week by Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Mikie Sherrill!

- The #childcare crisis has gotten so much worse this year with delayed funding, DOGE cuts to administrative staff, and attacks on the child care workforce. We need to #FundChildCare and #PayProviders, full stop. All other "solutions" are lip service. 19thnews.org/2025/09/chil...
- This #HispanicHeritageMonth, we celebrate the Hispanic and Latina caregivers who make up a crucial part of the child care work force — over 20% of all child care workers are Latina and 22% of all child care workers are immigrant women.
- FFN care is often provided during nontraditional hours, such as evenings, overnight, weekends and/or holidays. FFN caregivers provide quality and convenient care that supports working families when they need it most. FFN care is the heart of communities. #FFNAppreciationWeek
- With over 11.5 million children being cared for by an FFN caregiver each year, it is no surprise that many adults have fond memories of being in an FFN child care setting. Were you cared for by an FFN caregiver? Share your favorite memories in the comments below! #AllGrownUpFFN
- With ~20% of child care providers and caregivers identifying as immigrants, the recent increase in immigration enforcement activities leaves many FFN caregivers vulnerable and afraid. Help us share these resources to support them: childcareforeveryfamily.org/resources
- 💭 Who are FFN caregivers? They are the grandmothers, nanas, aunties, abuelitas, family, friends and neighbors who care for children. They are the pillars of their communities. #FFNCareIsAlwaysThere
- Reposted by Child Care for Every FamilyState and local policymakers looking to increase child care affordability, supply, and compensation must continue expanding public funding. Tri-Share does not build supply or substantively improve wages and benefits, making it a poor solution to the child care crisis. tcf.org/content/comm...

- HOT TAKE: Republicans can't be out here claiming to care about #childcare when they're delaying & gutting funding, slashing benefits AND villainizing and harming immigrants (who make up at least 21% of the child care workforce). www.salon.com/2025/08/25/w...

- 🚨BREAKING🚨 #CCPUCalifornia has reached a tentative agreement w/the State of California that protects benefits, wins stabilization pay, & ongoing cost-of-living adjustments, helping keep child care doors open by starting to stem the loss of skilled providers created by low pay.
- ACTION ALERT: Republicans just spent TRILLIONS on a bill that doesn’t do anything meaningful to address the child care crisis and instead funds mass deportation and handouts for billionaires and big corporations. Contact your lawmakers today: bit.ly/HandsOffHeadStart
- TOME ACCIÓN: Los republicanos acaban de gastar billones de dólares en una ley que no hace nada para abordar la crisis del cuidado infantil y, en cambio, financia deportaciones masivas y ayuda a multimillonarios y grandes corporaciones. Contacten a sus legisladores hoy mismo: bit.ly/AccesoAHeadS...
- Our Co-Director Andrea Paluso was thrilled to participate in a panel today at @netrootsnation.bsky.social #NN25. We need bold, people-first policies to transform our economy—and we can't go about it as if it's business as usual. Thanks to all who came! Connect with us: childcareforeveryfamily.org
- The budget that Republicans just voted for funnels BILLIONS into a deeply unpopular mass deportation effort that is terrorizing families and children across the country. It’s also going to have devastating impacts on child care, as at least 20% of the child care workforce are immigrants.
- This is an all hands on deck moment! Attacks on Head Start are attacks on all of us. Whether you’re a provider, a parent, or a concerned community member, we need you to use your voice: bit.ly/HandsOffHeadStart #CareCantWait #HandsOffHeadStart #TogetherForHeadStart
