WISCONSIN NEEDS TO INVEST IN CHILD CARE NOW
Use this letter-writing portal to tell your state elected officials to invest significant state revenue into child care. Without action, Wisconsin risks a deepening crisis: programs forced to raise rates and consider closing, added financial strains for working families, and the workforce and economic consequences that will result. Send a letter to tell your state elected officials it is their job to ensure child care providers, young children, families, and the economy receive the support they need, especially with more than $7 billion in state surplus available.

OUR PAST ADVOCACY EFFORTS
Raising Wisconsin partnered to host record-setting and successful Advocacy Days focused on child care and child health and well-being during the 2023-25 state budget cycle. Advocates met with a majority of Wisconsin’s elected officials to call for significant investment into the coalition’s state budget requests and priorities and established a powerful spotlight on child care for the work ahead.
