The Democratic Women’s Caucus recently sent a letter to the Biden Administration urging them to include 100 Billion dollars for Child Care in a relief package. In a statement they wrote “Today, 54 Members, led by Democratic Women’s Caucus (DWC) Co-Chairs Congresswomen Jackie Speier (CA-14), Lois Frankel (FL-21), and Brenda Lawrence (MI-14), Vice Chair Congresswoman Veronica Escobar (TX-16), and Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici (OR-01) sent a letter calling on President Biden to include $100 billion in reconciliation packages to not only stabilize child care for families and early educators, but also lay the groundwork for moving toward universal child care and early learning.”
