Thrilled to have partners like Happen to Life Cowork who get why we do what we do and wholeheartedly join in to make our work possible.

I am so excited to announce that Bumo (On-Demand Child Care) is offering free child care on Election Day in partnership with Smart Sitting by Dara Epstein, The Care Gap by Blessing Oyeleye Adesiyan, &Mother by Alysia Monta?o. ??? This Election Day, let's remember how crucial child care is in making sure every parent’s voice can be heard! With limited child care options, many parents face barriers to casting their vote. Did you know? ?? 67% of children under age 6 have all parents in the workforce, making reliable child care essential for parents to vote. ?? 1 in 3 parents report job changes due to child care challenges, which can impact their ability to make it to the polls. ?? 89% of voters want candidates to support affordable child care plans, linking it directly to a stronger economy. Go to https://lnkd.in/g8RDC4rQ to book child care on Election Day and spread the word!

We cannot be more excited about this expansion of our Childcare for Voters program. Because of the incredible support and effort of our partners at Smart Sitting and Bumo (On-Demand Child Care), more parents will be able to access the ballot box this election.

We have hit a wonderful roadblock: there is more demand for our Childcare for Voters program than we anticipated. We’re partnering with Smart Sitting to reach more voters. Help us cover ALL the families who need a little help getting to the polls this year. ????

"Caregivers often feel forgotten in the national discourse, both by politicians and by a system that fails to see how the barriers to voting — long lines, incompatible hours and a massive demand on their time to make sense of it all — are even higher for the people who already feel as if there aren’t enough hours in the day." We’re thrilled to share that Politisit has been highlighted in a recent article by Chabeli Carrazana, focusing on the vital role of caregivers and single moms in the 2024 election. As a nonprofit dedicated to empowering underrepresented voices, we believe that every individual deserves the tools and support to make their voices heard. In the article, our innovative solutions for increasing voter engagement among these key demographics are showcased. By removing the barrier of childcare, we aim to ensure that all caregivers have the opportunity to participate in shaping their communities and the future of our nation. A huge thank you to The 19th for recognizing our work! Together, let’s continue to break down barriers and build a more inclusive democracy. Check out the full article:
