I loved this: "If you say “how we care for children,” basically everyone can understand.
“How we care for children” is an idea that is worth fighting for. Then, there are specific policies that we push for.
So simple and true! I loved this convo with you and the great Katherine Goldstein, and now I'm wondering how one makes a ballot initiative and gets it on a ballot?! I, too, have felt powerless lately and this is exactly the kind of things that would make feel less helpless as opposed to calling my reps. Which, is important! But also, f*ck our reps!
I also want names on who the big business lobbies are that sunk BBB and all the care legislation. Let's "name and shame." :)
Yes! I loved this about reason Build Back Better didn't pass was because all the arguments were like, "Oh! Isn't this great for everyone? This is really going to help children!"
Instead of attacking big businesses, who refuse to pay taxes, and saying "These greedy fucks are why you cannot have what you deserve!"

Good piece. Thank you!
I especially enjoyed reading about initiatives that passed in conservative Southern states. As you said the care economy affects everyone.
Thank you! I was encouraged by all of this.
