Tell Presidential Candidates: Step Up on #ChildCareNow!
The next round of presidential debates are just around the corner, and it’s critical that the candidates hear from all of us about the importance of high quality, affordable child care. On Thursday, November 5, NWLC and MomsRising are teaming up for a Twitter storm to let the candidates know: working families need #ChildCareNow!
WHAT: #ChildCareNow Twitter Storm
WHEN: Thursday, November 5, 3:30-4:30 p.m. EST
** Here’s how you can get involved:
1. Print out the attached sign and complete this sentence: “We need #ChildCareNow because________” . You can fill in your own stories of how child care is important to your family, or fill in your thoughts about why childcare is important from a policy angle.
2. Take your picture with your sign. If you have children, you could also have them fill out the sign and take their pictures with it.
3. Tweet your picture during the twitter storm on November 5 with the hashtag #ChildCareNow.
4. Encourage your coworkers, friends, and family to do the same!
