CSEA/AFSCME Local 1000 member Armett Newman strongly defended child care funding at a Families Over Billionaires town hall in Washington, D.C. www.afscme.org/blog/afscme-...
90% of Armett's families rely on federal funding to afford care—funding the administration is illegally trying to withhold.
Instead of taking steps to fix the affordability crisis, the White House's efforts would hurt working parents, children and child care providers. We demand more.
Child care provider & CSEA member Armett Newman is speaking out with @fobaction.bsky.social to say:
Rising costs are hurting everyone. Parents are struggling to afford care, while providers struggle to stay open. We need leaders who will fight for the people – not billionaires!
Nurses, social workers, and public service workers are the backbone of our communities. They deserve respect and dignity.
Submit a comment today to join AFSCME members in solidarity. Tell DoE that these public service workers aren’t disposable. act.afscme.org/letters/tell...
Nurses, health care workers & social workers deserve respect for the work they do. That means being classified as the professionals they are.
