Accessing high quality, affordable child care in Oregon was already a problem, but this global pandemic has turned it into a full-scale crisis for families and for providers.
Our statewide and federal government can take immediate action to ensure the crisis doesn’t get worse, so providers can continue operating when the pandemic ends and parents can get back to work.
While state and federal lawmakers consider additional relief packages, they need to hear from you. Send your lawmakers a message right now, and ask them to fight for child care providers and the families they serve.

Share Your Story
Our partners at Family Forward are collecting stories from child care providers and/or families struggling during COVID-19. Personal stories are critical when advocating for the policies that Oregon mamas (and the families that rely on them) need. By sharing your story, you can play a significant role in our advocacy work: Since lawmakers likely don’t have an understanding of your life experience, sharing your story will help to make sure that policy decisions are inclusive for every Oregon family.
