Parents, child care providers, and advocates are gathering this morning at Liberty Plaza across from the Georgia State Capitol to spotlight the growing crisis surrounding the cost and accessibility of childcare. The event, called “A Day Without Childcare,” urges families to take the day off work to demonstrate how vital affordable childcare is to the state’s workforce and economy.
Organizers say the rally aims to send a clear message to lawmakers; without affordable childcare, working families and providers are both at risk.
