Child Care Funding Script

Call Speaker Pelosi’s office at 202.225.2965 to leave the message below:

“Hi, my name is_________, I live in San Francisco and I’d like to comment on the COVID-19 stimulus bill that is currently being debated.

Congress must act immediately to provide at least $50 billion in child care funding to states to address these needs in the third stimulus package.

Early childhood education programs are essential for the millions of children and families they serve and serve an important role during public health and economic emergencies.

If and when child care closes, it is imperative that the decision be tied to public support to pay for all operations and employee wages while they are closed.

Without immediate assistance, child care can not exist now, or in the future.

Our health care workers can’t work without these individuals caring for their children. We need to provide them with the health and safety resources they need as essential personnel.”
