Childcare now the top household cost in most states

This isn't a coincidence — it's policy failure. And it has a solution.

What we're fighting for
01

Fair Wages & Salaries

When paychecks don't stretch, it's everyone's problem. Every family, in every state, needs a wage that covers the basics. We fight to raise the floor.

02

Equal Pay

A dollar for a dollar. Not seventy-six cents. Men feel it too — her paycheck is the family's paycheck. We push states to close the gap for good.

03

Child Care

Child care isn't a family expense — it's a workforce necessity. We defend the funding that keeps it running.

04

Paid Leave

No worker should choose between a paycheck and caring for her family. Paid leave is infrastructure, not a perk.

05

Defending Care

Elder care support isn't a favor. It's what keeps families on firm economic ground. We fight to fund it.
