A beautiful day to be talking about Childcare for All MN all over the state!

Please read our statement on the Trump Administration's plan to pay stay-at-home parents and please allow us to reiterate boldly that we need a childcare system that allows every kind of family the financial freedom to make the choices that are right for their family. #ChildcareForAllMN

A little recap of our #mnstatefair days. There were nearly 1.5 million people at the fair this year and there were #ChildcareForAllMN t-shirts there nearly every day, so we figure 1.5 million more people now know about Childcare for All MN! Never underestimate the power of a t-shirt billboard!

CC4A representing at the Faith in Minnesota Greater Rochester Area Fall Kickoff. (Say that five times fast) Let’s go!

So much fair fun being walking billboards for #ChildcareForAllMN at the #mnstatefair. What a great day to get together!

All those yellow shirts and cute kids! Ask us about Childcare for All MN if you see us at the fair today!

T-Shirt ready! (Ok a little wrinkly…) See you today at the Minnesota State Fair with 150,000+ of our fellow Minnesotans!

Headed to the Great Minnesota Get Together and looking to up the fun level? Play some Childcare for All MN bingo! If you fill in the whole card, send us a message and we'll get you a prize!

We spent our weekend doorknocking for childcare champion candidates, tabling in our communities, and hanging with camels. How about you? #ChildcareForAllMN

It was a great afternoon to talk #ChildcareForAllMN with Ben Schierer, who we intend to make a childcare expert, as he runs for Lieutenant Governor! (We think we were all yelling "Childcare!")

A packed weekend of hanging out with candidates who know we need #ChildcareForAllMN so every child, every family, every educator, and everyone can thrive.

Childcare providers in our Somali community met with @Senator John Hoffman and Rep. Mohamud Noor this week! The last year and a half has been incredibly challenging and through it all they have continued to provide exceptional care to thousands of families! #ChildcareForAllMN

Devastating stories shared tonight with legislators and candidates about how it is impossible to afford the things we need to survive. But we CAN pay for the things we want in one of the wealthiest states in the wealthiest nation. How? By making the wealthiest pay their fair share.

Not only is universal childcare the best idea ever, but it's really fun to learn about it! This playdate happened last weekend in Duluth. There are more coming to a park near you. Check them out at www.childcareforallmn.com under Events!

Have you gotten your sticker yet?! Today's the day - if you haven't voted in Minnesota's primary election yet, get to your polling place before 8:00 pm, choose childcare champions like Peggy Flanagan, (just to name one), and make your voice count!

Woot Woot MN District 2 Childcare for All MN leaders! This is your reminder that there is a primary election in MN TOMORROW Aug 11 and that your vote MATTERS! Find yourself a childcare champion to vote for! #ChildcareForAllMN

Here and on our website at www.kidscountonus.com ...our statement on the Trump administration's attacks on Head Start (yes, again).

So glad you could pop in and so excited to work on this with you! @omarfatehmn.com

Yesterday, I attended two amazing back-to-back events in the Southside! First up was a ‘How Can We Pay for Universal Childcare?’ Roundtable! Thanks to Rep. Sencer-Mura & Child Care for All MN for hosting. I’m excited to champion universal childcare for every family next session.

Universal childcare? Yes please! 💪🏽 Free for families? Sign us up! ❤️‍🔥 Professional wages for educators? Let's do it! 🥳 #ChildcareForAllMN

Our first revenue event for #ChildcareForAllMN tonight! ”We all do better when we all do better” and we’d ALL do way better with universal childcare. Let’s raise the revenue to fund it!

News coverage of the candidate forum in Bemidji last week! It's clear - Minnesotans want #ChildcareForAllMN so their communities can thrive. Do NOT believe those who tell you there is not enough money. Minnesota is a wealthy state! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn21VXVi2Bk

How do you know where candidates stand on childcare? You host a candidate forum and ask them! Great evening with Representatives Zack Stephenson and Kari Rehraurer in Senate District 35 at Creative Kids. They even got the quintessential politician holding a baby photo! #FundChildCareNow

There are so many things happening this week! We want to highlight our first discussion about "How doe we pay for this?" on Wednesday Aug 5 at Matthew's Park in Minneapolis. Join us. Go to www.childcareforallmn.com to register.

It is NOT a contest, but if it was, Channon would win the weekend for most photos with elected officials/candidates in her #ChildcareForAllMN shirt (and doorknocking too!)! And yes, this is a challenge to get out there and meet them and tell them all about #ChildcareForAllMN!

We are SO excited that everyone, no matter their political affiliation, is talking about universal childcare! https://www.bemidjipioneer.com/news/bemidji-area-republican-reps-share-thoughts-on-childcare-for-all-upcoming-legislative-session
