Stop the Cuts to Federal Child Care Funding!

On September 30, roughly $4.1 billion in remaining child care stabilization funds Congress allocated through the American Rescue Plan will expire. Furthermore, the child care community will only have a year to spend another dwindling $12 billion in supplemental Child Care Development Fund (CCDF) dollars.

The expiration of these funding sources will result in up to 3 million children losing child care and more than 70,000 child care programs likely closing – a devastating blow to early educators, our families and our economy.

Fill out the form below to let President Biden and your Federal representatives we must preserve this funding!

We just need a few pieces of information to connect you with your representatives.

Stop the Cuts to Federal Child Care Funding!

Bay Area Federal Reps

Subject: Please Save Federal Child Care Funding

Message:

Hello, I am an advocacy supporter of Children's Council of San Francisco. Child care is essential to California and the nation because it provides children with development and education as well as being the backbone of our economy. In our current crisis, even with the existing funding, child care has struggled to stay afloat, thus affecting our children's education and care. Now, on September 30, roughly $4.1 billion in remaining child care stabilization funds Congress allocated through the American Rescue Plan will expire. Additionally, the child care community will have only a year to spend another dwindling $12 billion in supplemental Child Care Development Fund (CCDF) dollars before their expiration. The expiration of these funding sources will result in up to 3 million children losing child care and more than 70,000 child care programs likely closing, devastating child care educators, our families and our economy. We stand with the National Women’s Law Center and a multitude of other organizations across the country to ask that the president and Congress stand up and invest at least $16 billion per year in child care. Leaders in both Houses agree this must be a priority. This investment will help prevent a further child care crisis and stave off shrinking child care spots, staffing shortages and rising prices that will disrupt both families and our economy. Investing in child care is absolutely critical and allowing this funding expire jeopardizes our families' futures. With your help, children will be able to receive the education and care that will impact us for generations. Again, I am urging you to help the future leaders of tomorrow receive the education and care they deserve. Thank you
