Please Join me for a Childcare Roundtable that addresses the National Childcare Crisis at Home on Monday, Oct. 14 from 5:30 to 7:30 P.M. at Wayne County Community College Northwest Campus, 8200 W. Outer Drive, Detroit, MI 48219 in the Denise Wellons Glover Welcome Center Atrium. Special Guests, so far, include: Mothering Justice, Michigan AEYC/T.E.A.C.H., MiRegistry/MiLEAP and more.
I’ve been working as a policy fellow with a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that connects policymakers to community-led policy interventions.
The topic of childcare in America is one we need to tackle. We’re currently facing a childcare crisis. In fact, in Michigan, 14 percent of parents left a job in 2023 due to childcare issues, and more than half of working parents in Michigan made major adjustments to their working schedules to accommodate the shortfalls for childcare.
As chair of the Committee on Families, Children and Seniors, I am working toward solutions for Michigan’s working families. That’s why I need to hear from you — I’m calling all parents, childcare providers, advocates and business owners — I want to hear from you about what you need and how we can solve the childcare crisis together. I want to make sure working parents can afford to raise a family and have affordable childcare that will enable them to go to work or advance in their careers.
We know we have to do something to increase access to affordable childcare in our communities. Your voice matters and is important in helping us figure this out.
