DC Doesn’t Work Without Childcare For All
by Liane Scott, on June 11, 2010
This video was produced for Empower DC’s Childcare for All Campaign, which brings together residents who are directly impacted by the lack of quality, affordable and accessible childcare in DC for low and moderate income working families. Specifically, the campaign has been advocating for full funding of the Child Care Subsidy Program by the city council. Last year the council cut $4 million from the program and Mayor Fenty’s proposed budget was slated to cut an additional $4 million this year. But lobbying efforts paid off, and much of the funding was restored. I believe this video had a positive impact. Shout outs must be made to videographer Lorenz Wheatley and Hip Hop artist Head-Roc for providing the soundtrack for this video and for the Childcare For All campaign.
