Day Without Child Care Pledge
Sign The Pledge
About
We have reached our tipping point.
On Monday, May 12th, childcare providers, parents, and families across the country will shut their doors, call out sick, or close down early to participate in Community Change Action’s 4th Annual National A Day Without Child Care. People are fed up with the interests of billionaires coming before our babies, our budgets, and our benefits. But we know that together, our voices can rise and we can win the childcare system – and the care economy – we all deserve.
On a “Day Without Child Care,” we’ll call to protect ALL of our care – childcare, healthcare, Head Start, food support, home care – because we know when you come for one of us, you come for all of us.
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.
- No cuts to Head Start
- No cuts to Medicaid/SNAP
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 politicians attack our healthcare, food support, Head Start, and home care, we anticipate a historic turnout for this year’s Day Without Child Care so we can demonstrate to our elected leaders that solving our care crisis and giving families what they need must be prioritized over the interests of billionaires.
