Petition: Help End the Looming Child Care Crisis
Anywhere
The pandemic-era childcare funding is ending on September 30, and threatens to leave 3.2 million children without care. This is of particular concern as 70.4% of women with children are in the workforce, and this threatens the livelihood of women as well.
Child care has long been unaffordable and inaccessible for many Americans, costing parents over $10,000 a year on average while more than half of the population lives in "child care deserts" with insufficient supply. States are expected to face a steep decline in federal child care investment starting September 30, the expiration date for pandemic-era funding that has helped stabilize the sector over the past two years. The funding cutoff could result in the loss of 70,000 programs and more than 3 million child care spots.*

It might look like it's out of cartoons, but a new energy-friendly "color-changing coating" could provide heating and cooling without the need for additional energy. Inspired by a chameleon, scientists created the coating which changes colors based on the current temp.
