Legislative Advocacy Guide

Early Education and Child Care Reform

Child Care Advocates from around the state are in the midst of an exciting legislative session. The first big action we took was showing up on October 17th at the Massachusetts State House for a long-awaited legislative hearing for two child care bills (H.489/S.301) that have been in the making for the past 4 years.

Now, we need you to get involved in helping to get these bills passed! You can show support by spreading the word on social media, calling your local senator and representative, and sharing your own child care story. 

Take Action: Share Your Story With Legislators

Here's How:

  1. Find your local legislators’ contact information here and urge them to support current child care legislation.

  2. The subject line of your email should be: “Please Support Child Care Legislation (H.489/S.301).”

  3. In your email, provide your name, organization or town/city, and your phone number.

  4. State what bills you are emailing about (H.489/S.301) and why you support them.

  5. Tell your story and be sure to talk about what’s most important to you when it comes to fixing child care.

  6. End with call to action

Tell others! Share your personal story on social media and encourage others to submit their testimony. Follow and tag us in your personal child care stories using #FixChildCare
