Rally with UAW for Universal Childcare this Thursday at 10am!
Nearly half of women scientists in the U.S. leave academia after having their first child. As unionized researchers, we know that having stronger access to childcare support for those of us with small children is absolutely critical for making academia more equitable and inclusive for all of us.
Join UAW Region 9A and New Yorkers United for Child Care for our campaign kick-off TOMORROW (Thursday, December 11), at 10 AM outside the Governor’s office in midtown Manhattan at 919 3rd Avenue. Click here to RSVP if you can join us on Thursday: https://forms.gle/bmXNCnB8Yb1FYgUr6
Can’t join us on Thursday? You can still show your support by signing the petition for universal child care for all two-year-olds in New York City, following the success of universal 3-K and pre-K. Click here to add your name to the petition
Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or thoughts,
