California Can Afford It!

Sep 05, 2019

Creating a better early care and education system for all will require a major investment. But this is California and California can afford it!

California is home to 144 billionaires and over 150 Fortune 1000 companies. Just how much are they worth?

 

These billionaires and corporations did not get rich on their own. They are making billions in profit off our hard work and sacrifice. Providers and parents are being shut out of the profits we are helping to generate.

Providers and parents agree that we can no longer allow wealthy corporations to steal from our children the opportunities they need to grow and thrive.

It’s time to set California’s priorities straight and invest in a better child care system. We know California can – and will – lead the way.
