2024 Grassroots Assembly for Child Care

Are you ready to create a child care system that works for every family?

Join us in Minneapolis, Minnesota, September 27-29, 2024!

The Grassroots Assembly for Child Care is an annual, regional event. In 2024, we’ll be convening grassroots leaders who are parents, providers, caregivers, organizers, and allies committed to advancing child care as a racial, economic, and gender justice issue in the Midwest!

Leaders will have the opportunity to connect, learn, build power together, and discuss strategies to move forward across states through an aligned national strategy. This is an event that centers directly impacted folks, including parents and families of young children and child care providers of all types.
