Register Now for Advocacy Day 2024

Join us in Albany on February 6th, 2024!

New York State took important steps to expand access to high-quality child care for every family that needs it in this year’s legislative session. However, the promise of universal child care can only be achieved if elected officials commit to investing and fixing what’s broken in our child care system every year, in every state budget.

With the 2024 session about to begin, we’re asking you to join us in Albany on February 6th to make it clear that child care must be a top priority in the 2024 state budget!

Note: This form is only for those who plan to join us in person in Albany. 

In 2024, we will call on New York to take the next steps towards high-quality, universal child care by advocating for:

• Better pay and benefits for the child care workforce, which earns less than almost all other jobs in New York State for the important work of caring for and educating our youngest children
• Supportive changes that will that allow more families to access the care they need, when they need it — breaking down harmful barriers and building more care options for families outside of 9 to 5, weekday hours
