Session One: Where Our Movements Meet! Immigration & Child Care Through History
Featuring Tiffany Chang, Protecting Immigrant Families
This session builds a shared understanding of how immigration policy directly impacts child care access, the child care workforce, and family economic stability.
Participants will:
➡️ Understand the long history of immigration and child care system
➡️ Explore how anti-immigrant narratives impact providers, parents, and mixed-status families
➡️ Identify shared advocacy opportunities between immigrant justice and child care movements
This two-part Popular Education (Pop Ed) training series is designed to deepen the connection between the child care movement and immigrant justice while equipping participants with tools for healing and resilience during politically volatile times. Grounded in collective learning, lived experience, and action-oriented reflection, the series creates space for child care providers, organizers, caregivers, and allies to build shared analysis, strengthen solidarity, and practice communal care.
At a moment when immigrant families and the child care workforce face heightened political attacks, policy instability, and fear, this series supports participants in connecting systems analysis with embodied healing practices.
