    Update for Ohio Families: Make Your Voice Heard; Family Mental Health Resources

    May 13, 2020

    The COVID-19 health emergency is impacting all our lives, especially those families with young children. In this weekly newsletter we will connect you with the most recent information about child care options, learning at home activities for children, emotional support resources for you and your children and more. Here is our newsletter from May 13, 2020.

    Action Alert: Take Two Minutes to Advocate for Child Care

    Today, we’re encouraging you to raise your voice for children, families, and child care providers by asking Congress to provide dedicated, flexible funding for child care in its next relief package. Advocating is now easier than ever. Just fill out a quick form and you’ll have the opportunity to…

    1. Add your story to a pre-drafted message (or send as-is!)
    2. Call your representative
    3. Tag your representative in a post on Twitter

    Join thousands of Ohioans who are reaching out to Congress TODAY.
