Real Solutions to the Childcare Crisis

It is no surprise that we have a childcare crisis in this country. The U.S. is one of only six countries that doesn’t provide paid family leave and is the only World Health Organization country with maternal deaths rising, rather than falling. The good news? A brighter future for families is possible! In this episode, Christian F. Nunes speaks with Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner, Executive Director, CEO, and Co-Founder of MomsRising, a grassroots organization of more than a million people working to achieve economic security for families, moms, and women in the U.S. Kristin shares how changes in policy can transform the state of childcare so everyone can be supported in their decision to raise children, and how investing in families means investing in our national economy.


Whether you have a mom, know a mom, employ a mom, or are a mom, this issue impacts everyone. Tune in to this impassioned discussion for advice about how to get involved and to learn more about the inspiring changes advancing care, health, and equity for us all.


Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner is author of the book “Keep Marching: How Every Woman Can Take Action and Change Our World,” and host of the radio program “Breaking Through (Powered by MomsRising).” You can find out more by visiting her website.
