Discussion:

• Values we bring
• What are childcare needs?
• What’s happening with current childcare legislation?
• What needs does it fill (and how)? What needs doesn’t it fill?
• How can we support quality childcare? (e.g., union organizing at UB)
• Ways people can get involved, and help promote the childcare we need
