TOMORROW: GILLIBRAND TO DEMAND THAT TRUMP ADMINISTRATION REVERSE DECISION TO RIP AWAY CHILD CARE FUNDING FOR NEW YORK

Washington, D.C. – Tomorrow, Thursday, January 8^th at 10:30 AM: U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) will hold a virtual press conference to demand that the Trump administration unfreeze the grants that provide child care assistance to thousands of families in New York.

On Tuesday, the Trump administration froze $10 billion in funding for child care subsidies, social services, and cash support for low-income families in five Democrat-controlled states—including New York. The administration is claiming widespread fraud throughout these states, but it has not provided any evidence of this in New York. The funding freeze will harm tens of thousands of children in New York and threatens the livelihood of hardworking caregivers.

Senator Gillibrand will discuss the importance of child care assistance for working parents and demand an immediate reversal of the administration’s funding freeze.
