Child Care Providers United California

Child care providers are standing together to call on our courts to REJECT the federal government's threats to freeze child care funding. This unlawful funding freeze will cause severe harm to the communities we serve, including low-income and single-parents!

Our message is clear child care providers must be paid the #truecostofcare NOW. When providers are supported, children thrive. Families stay in the workforce, and communities grow stronger.

Child care providers are in Sacramento fighting for fair pay! Tune-in today at 1:30 pm to hear first hand why California must pay providers for the true cost of care NOW. Tune-in here ⬇️ youtube.com/live/ZRGVaGA6_…

.@alex_lee, @asmcastillo, @AsmLisaCalderon, @AsmCoreyJackson, @asmcelesterodriguez, @asmsadeelhawary, @asmtangipa: strong families start with paying child care providers the #truecostofcare

For so many of California's working families, child care subsidies are the only way they can afford care. But when there aren’t enough providers accepting subsidies in their neighborhoods, families are left scrambling. #CALeg #truecostofcare.

#CALeg: strong families and strong communities start with paying child care providers the #truecostofcare!

For so many of California's working families, child care subsidies are the only way they can access care. When parents get stuck on long subsidy waitlists or can't find a provider in their area to accept their subsidy, they can't go to work and provide for their families.

The true cost of running a child care program keeps going up while reimbursement rates fall behind. This year, we have the chance to do something about it. Child care providers say YES on AB 1981, the True Cost of Care Act! #CALEG #union childcareprovidersunited.org/child-care-pro…

California can make strides in ending this cycle by passing #AB1981 to pay providers the #truecostofcare. #CALeg

Child care providers are demanding #fairpay now. Historic low pay has forced providers to close our doors, prevented more early educators from entering the profession, and left families struggling to find quality child care.

Low pay has made California's child care system unstable for decades, hurting children, families, and providers. #CALeg: @asmaguiarcurry AB 1981 is a critical step toward stabilizing child care and will help expand access to affordable child care for working families.

California can't afford to lose more child care providers! Decades of low pay are forcing providers to shut their doors, leaving working families scrambling to find quality care. #CALeg it's time to pay providers the #truecostofcare by passing @AsmAguiarCurry's #AB1981.

Strong families start with fair pay for child care providers. 💪 CCPU members met with @CASpeakerRivas in Salinas where we shared how hard it is for us to make ends meet with our current pay from the State and called on him to support us in our fight to reach the #truecostofcare

Our system is rigged in favor of wealthy corporations and the people who run and own them. But rules that are rigged can be UN-rigged. Today we are launching a multi-year campaign to make corporations and their owners pay their fair share. #UnRigCA seiuca.org/press-releases…

We're cheering on our early education peers at @SEIU925 as they take another step closer to winning sectoral collective bargaining rights in Washington State. ✊ When early educators, parents, and providers stand together, we win.

📢California has underpaid and undervalued child care providers for too long! Providers like CCPU member Anita Vicini sacrifice their own salary to pay their bills because of inconsistent and low pay from the state.

We are the women who ensure working parents can go to work while their children receive quality early education opportunities. We deserve respect and fair pay.

We're honoring #WomensHistoryMonth by celebrating the support child care providers offer to our communities. Our majority women of color workforce is the backbone of our economy's success here in California and nationally.

CCPU is making a difference here in CA – the Union’s contract will keep doors open and protect access to care in the face of federal threats to child care funding, and we'll keep fighting to protect providers. bit.ly/4tEgVdu

Who relies on subsidized child care? Nurses, delivery drivers, farmworkers, fast food workers, and more. Quality affordable child care can't be sustainable without fair pay for child care providers.

“Child care providers are the backbone of our early education system and our state economy, but too many of these mostly women-owned small businesses are barely scraping by. AB 1981 is about paying them what they’re due," said @AsmAguiarCurry .

Child care providers are proud stand alongside child care champion @asmaguiarcurry to keep up our fight for fair pay and ensure providers are paid for the true cost of quality child care for California's working families.

🚨📢Child care providers celebrate the introduction of landmark legislation to address historic pay inequities. AB 1981 by @AsmAguiarCurry will ensure families aren’t left waiting for care and providers aren’t left scrounging pennies to pay their bills.
