Today Amanda is joined by Rep. Katherine Clark, Vice-Chair of the House Democratic Caucus and the second highest-ranking woman in Congress. Rep. Clark (D-CA), a fierce advocate for childcare, talks about pushing lawmakers to recognize childcare as an economic issue, not just a women’s one. She describes her push to get Congress to offer the childcare industry the same bailout it gave airlines: $50 billion. Finally, she discusses how the pandemic has exposed and exacerbated gender inequality, particularly for women of color, who make up a massive number of childcare providers and the essential workers who rely on them.
