We’re grateful that Gov. Cuomo’s Executive Budget offers meaningful support to families by extending the Empire State Child Credit to families with children under age 4. This step, though modest, recognizes the importance of investing in New York’s youngest children.
Investing in our children means investing in the future of our community. That’s why I’m so proud to announce that $1.5 million in federal funding has been awarded to expand the All Kids Thrive program here in Rochester and help strengthen critical early childhood services.
Grateful to our partners at The Children’s Institute, Golisano Children's Hospital, Roc The Future, The Children's Agenda, and so many more for their dedicated work to help children in our community grow and thrive.
TCA Director of Policy, Pete Nabozny, will be appearing on WXXI Connections today at 1pm, to discuss how a shortage of child care services is impacting local families. Listen online by clicking the link... www.wxxinews.org/

CONGRESSMAN JOE MORELLE CALLS FOR UNIVERSAL CHILDCARE FOR WORKING FAMILIES
morelle.house.gov
(Washington, D.C.) – Following a report this week from The Children’s Agenda outlining the extent of this childcare crisis in Monroe County, Rep. Joe Morelle announced his sponsorship of the Child...URGENT ACTION ON CHILD CARE NEEDED:
If you haven't already, call the Governor!
Governor Cuomo made NO proposals in his January 8, 2020 State of the State address to strengthen or support child care. We have just a few days to make clear to the Governor that the Executive Budget MUST contain a substantial investment in child care. New York’s child care system, our children, our families, our dedicated child care educators cannot go another year without investment.
If you haven't called yet, please CALL Governor Cuomo TODAY (Tuesday, January 14).
If 50 of us call each day, we can tie up the lines, be heard, and make a difference!!
Call 1-518-474-8390 to say "I care about child care."

Possible additional messages to convey:
· I am deeply disappointed that in the Governor’s State of the State address, there was no mention of child care at all. That is unacceptable. New York’s child care system is in crisis. There has not been a significant increase in child care funding from the state in many years.
Because of that:
· Parents have trouble finding affordable child care so they can work and support their families.
· When they can’t find it, children are at risk of being placed in unsafe care.
· Child care providers – most of whom are small businesses – can’t make enough to make ends meet so they are forced to close and lay off staff.
I am also very troubled/upset
· That the Governor appointed a Child Care Availability Task Force in 2018 to study this crisis, and the Task Force presented interim recommendations to you several months ago, but you did not mention their recommendations in the State of the State address.
It is essential that the Governor include a significant investment in child care THIS YEAR to prevent more child care provider closures, and to ensure that more low-income families have access to high quality, safe, affordable child care.
Please share this email with your families, friends, neighbors, networks!
Thank you!
