STAND UP FOR CHILD CARE!

Dear Child Care Advocates and Leaders.

Today is the day we STAND UP for child care.

We are calling on child care advocates, providers, parents, educators, and leaders to unite for a one-day social media action to show solidarity and demand protection for child care funding.

What we’re asking: 
1. Post one of the attached images on your social media platforms

2. Use the hashtag #StandUpForChildCareShare a brief message about why child care funding matters to your community, or use one of our pre-drafted captions.

3. For impact, please post between 12pm-2pm

This collective action is meant to flood social media with a clear message:
Federal cuts to child care funding harm children, families, providers, and our economy, and we will not stay silent!

Standing up is EASY!
