Rebecca Bailin, a community organizer, has mobilized parents in Brooklyn to combat the increasing costs of childcare and related city policies. Alarmed by the departure of friends from New York City as family expenses rise, she founded New Yorkers United for Childcare. The initiative has grown to engage thousands in advocating for universal childcare. This movement highlights a new focus on childcare as an essential political issue, leading to the emergence of a 'child care voter' class. Bailin's advocacy is personal, as she is expecting her first child soon.
By organizing parents concerned about high childcare costs, Rebecca Bailin and her group are making the childcare crisis a significant political issue in New York City.
The coalition of advocates is not just fighting for policies but is creating a new category of voters who prioritize childcare in local elections.
