Today, I’m releasing my plan to mobilize a 21st century care and early childhood education workforce.

It will ease the financial burden of care for families, create good-paying jobs with good benefits, and treat workers with the dignity they deserve.

Donald Trump simply doesn’t understand: We can’t deal with our economic crisis without solving the public health crisis.

And for all his bluster about his expertise on the economy, he is unable to explain how he will actually help the working families hit the hardest.

We are trapped in a caregiving crisis, within an economic crisis, within a public health crisis. You’re doing everything you can, but this president is not.

If I’m your president, here’s what I would do:

We need to make high-quality child care affordable and accessible. As president, I'll give every 3- and 4-year-old access to free, high-quality preschool. And low- to middle-income families won’t spend more than 7% of their income on quality care for children under age 5.

Home health workers do God’s work, but aren’t paid much. They have few benefits, and 40% are still on SNAP or Medicaid. It's unacceptable.

I'll give caregivers and early childhood educators a much-needed raise.
