Join us for an engaging and informative public policy event addressing a critical issue impacting Arizona families: childcare. This forum will explore the topic through personal stories, expert analysis, and diverse viewpoints.
77% of voters agree that families in our state are struggling to find affordable and reliable childcare. Without dependable access to childcare, many caregivers face the difficult choice of missing work or leaving the workforce altogether. This has far-reaching implications not only for the affected families but also for our economy and community wellbeing.
