We have an occupant in the Oval Office that says we have to fund a war, that we don't even know why we're there, but we cannot afford to pay for childcare when that is our most important infrastructure, our babies.

I'm so grateful to the dedicated community and ecosystem of indefatigable staff here and educators and loving parents that are fighting fiercely for their children to have the kind of future that they deserve.
