The report has already garnered media attention.

The website Mother Jones wrote an article about it stating “While it’s not surprising to see Warren championing child care, the report is notable as a subtle rebuke of President Joe Biden for not devoting enough funds to child care in his infrastructure plans and offers a warning shot to lawmakers who might consider ditching child care as the party crafts its infrastructure agenda over the coming months”

Warren and others have also been promoting the report on social media which you can see below.

The report follows the Universal Child Care and Early Learning Act being reintroduced into congress. Warren and New York Congressman Mondaire L. Jones also recently released a video promoting that bill as well.
