Elizabeth Warren and Zohran Mamdani held a listening session on free, universal childcare in New York City. Mamdani, running for mayor, emphasized the need for affordable childcare as a governmental responsibility and critical infrastructure. He plans to provide free childcare for children aged six weeks to five years and raise wages for childcare workers. Warren endorsed Mamdani, highlighting his commitment to affordability. She reinforced the importance of affordable childcare in enabling parents to work, compared it to essential infrastructure, and stressed the urgency of addressing childcare needs in the city.
Currently, the city offers childcare vouchers to eligible families through the Administration for Children's Services.
Mamdani has stated that he would make childcare free for all NYC children aged six weeks to five years old.
Warren described affordable childcare as infrastructure comparable to roads, bridges, and electricity essential to keep a city running.
Even for people who say, We'll find a way to find the time, that's a tough thing to do, especially for those folks who are working multiple jobs.
