The Action Lab NY

Today we honor every worker who keeps this world running. We’re kicking off an 11-day countdown to A Day Without Child Care.

For the next eleven days, providers across New York will share our stories: the low wages, the 17,000 kids waiting for care, the families locked out, and the vision for what care could look like when New York actually invests in it.

On May 11th, providers, parents, and advocates will gather at City Hall Park to demand a child care system that works for all New Yorkers.
