Nearly 100 advocates for government-funded child care programs marched to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s Manhattan office on Monday to shed light on the lack of funding for such services in NYC.
Child care providers, parents and supporters walked from Bryant Park to the governor’s Midtown office at 633 Third Avenue as part of the third-annual nationwide Day Without Child Care event. At this year’s march in NYC, themed Imagine a Day Without Child Care, participants marched in opposition to the governor’s rejection of $220 million in state funds for child care.
