New Brief: Re-Envisioning CCDF: Toward an Anti-Racist Child Care System That Serves Families & Educators
“Re-Envisioning CCDF: Toward an Anti-Racist Child Care System That Serves Families & Educators” published with the Georgetown Center on Poverty & Inequality (GCPI). This brief offers a new, anti-racist vision for transforming the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) into a program that actively pushes back against structural racism and advances racial equity and economic prosperity for all families. The brief proposes recommendations for advancing a more equitable child care system.

Sample Tweets:
- Child care is the backbone of the economy, but federal funding for it reaches only a fraction of eligible families. We need a fully funded, universal child care program that prioritizes job quality and the needs of families. @GtownLawPovCntr & @nwlc bit.ly/RE-CCDF
- Our society cannot afford to undervalue the labor of caregivers—who are disproportionately women of color—for any longer. We need an anti-racist child care system now. @GtownLawPovCntr & @nwlc’s newest brief: bit.ly/RE-CCDF
- Families of color have been blocked from accessing high-quality and accessible child care.
- An anti-racist child care system would allow us all to thrive. @GtownLawPovCntr & @nwlc bit.ly/RE-CCDF
- A new, anti-racist child care program in the U.S. would:
▶️Eliminate racial inequities in the child care system
▶️Establish child care as a universal right
▶️Value child care as a public good
▶️Build an inclusive child care system
