Julia Brownley said "We all know that we do not have economic policies that set women up for success. The pandemic has put a cruel spotlight on these challenges. In fact, one out of four women has been pushed out of the workforce because the care economy collapsed. We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to change this paradigm, while supporting a tenuous economic recovery, by making transformative investments in America's working women. The Build Back Better agenda invests in childcare, paid family leave, home-based care, universal pre-K, and the child tax credit. There is no doubt that the Build Back Better agenda sets up women and their families for short-term and long-term success. And we all know that when women and their families succeed, America succeeds. ___________________
