Join NWLC’s State Gender Policy Collective and Americans for Financial Reform Education Fund for a briefing discussing how states can address the growing risks posed by private equity in U.S. child care markets. Private equity has a long and unfortunate track record of acquiring essential community services only to degrade job and care quality and weaken relationships with workers, families, and suppliers.

The good news is that the power to curb private equity’s takeover of child care lies largely with state and local leaders, organizations, and communities.

This session will highlight policy and advocacy opportunities for state and local actors to: strengthen guardrails that protect families and workers; maintain fair and competitive child care markets; equitably increase the supply of child care by supporting alternatives to private equity; and build public power for greater corporate accountability. It will feature subject matter experts and pioneering state leaders discussing how to support equitable child care markets in your state. It will also provide an opportunity for attendees to connect with each other and share their experiences.
