”We need our elected officials to think about child care as part of basic infrastructure.”

We discuss the necessary policies that make a family friendly economy possible, such as investments in child care, elder care, and paid family leave. Such investments ought to be considered basic infrastructure, which contribute to the economy.

Sondra Goldschein is the Executive Director of the Campaign for a Family Friendly Economy, which focuses on building grassroots support for family-friendly policies. The organization also runs a political action committee that focuses on electing candidates who support paid family and medical leave and affordable elder and childcare.

Sondra’s civic action toolkit recommendations are:

Talk to your friends and family who are having challenges around caregiving.
Vote for candidates who support child care and paid family leave, and hold them accountable after elections.
