Posted May 8, 2018
We are an emerging alliance of child care providers, parents, clergy, home care workers, school employees, small business owners and community organizations uniting to ensure that every child, parent, grandparent, and caregiver in Saint Cloud can live with dignity.
We are gathering the day-after Mother’s Day to right historic wrongs. Minnesota lawmakers and employers have a long history of undervaluing care work, which is primarily done by women. We are holding community leaders accountable for bad choices they have made in the past that have hurt children, elders and caregivers. Community leaders to move forward by partnering with us to put forth bold solutions for our families.
There is not a family in St. Cloud that can go without care. Join us!
