Elected officials joined backers of the “Care for All Families” campaign in City Hall Park Tuesday to demand funding for all children, especially undocumented immigrants to be included in the City’s Fiscal Year 2023 budget.
New York State legislators expanded childcare in the state budget last month; however, New York City elected officials lambasted Albany for leaving behind what they say is an essential group—undocumented immigrants. Private early childcare in New York City can cost astronomical amounts of money, and those living paycheck to paycheck are left to choose between family care and work.
