CHILD CARE ACTION CENTER

There has never been a more important time to throw everything we have at protecting funding for child care and the essential programs our families count on.

Republicans in Congress are working to pass one of the most harmful bills we’ve ever seen that will gut funding for child care, Medicaid, SNAP benefits, and more. Their goal is to get it done by Memorial Day. 

Please take action today! It will take all of our collective power to stop these cuts from happening. For the most impact, add your own personal story to the email and when you make phone calls.

Time to show up and show out!

What’s coming next?

President Trump is also proposing a budget for 2026 that would totally eliminate funding for Head Start, including Early Head Start, causing over 750,000 children to lose access to care. 🤯 This comes on top of recent firings at the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) which administers  federal child care and Head Start programs and supports states. The elimination of so many staff has already caused multiple funding delays across the country, throwing child care providers and families into chaos.
