There were only four questions allowed, and I knew I had to make mine count.
Specifically, If you win in November, can you commit to legislation making child care affordable?
And if so, what specific piece of legislation will you advance?
A protest for better child care in New York, 1950.

Youre probably asking, WTF is the CDCTC?

Then tell your friends, talk to your community, and bring more allies on board.
We roll up our sleeves, we get organized, and we make it happen.
So were no longer merely asking whether our leaders will commit to making child care affordable.
Weretellingthem, loud and clear, in six-foot-tall lettering: Families need a tax cut for child care.
And were going to check that the White House hears us.
