Day Without Child Care is a moment where we show our power,

where we come together and know we are in solidarity together. Last year, the fourth annual Day Without Child Care broke the mold in the largest one-day work stoppage in childcare history. Some of our highlights.

  • 1,395 childcare providers closed their doors or called out with the support of the families they serve
  • Powerful childcare leaders organized 100s of events across 27 states & D.C.
  • We swarmed state Capitol buildings across the country including in Columbus, OH, Baton Rouge, LA, and St. Paul, MN, to name a few….
  • Our work gained national attention, with features on NPR and over 330 local news outlets across the country, reaching more than 186.4 million people
  • Your social media posts reached approximately 20.6 million impressions and our best count so far has 131 local, state and federal elected officials participating in or supporting events
