Cook County is tackling a major public health concern with Lead Care Cook County, a program providing free lead service line replacement for childcare providers in suburban areas. Beyond replacing lines, the program restores properties to their original condition and conducts follow-up water testing to ensure lead levels are reduced to non-detectable levels. Caroline Pakenham of Elevate highlights the program’s commitment to safeguarding children and ensuring their environments are safe and lead-free.

If you were invited to complete the third of eight RAPID-CT surveys for Connecticut families with children under the age of 6, please respond before it closes at the end of today, 10/25.

We are calling on our elected leaders to act quickly to solve America’s child care crisis. At the federal level, the Democrats’ reconciliation package offers us a once in a generation opportunity to acknowledge the incredible value that caregiving and caregivers add to our economy and to help families struggling with their rising child care costs. Please use this toolkit to support parents, child care providers, and Child care Change makers nationwide as they demand living wages and affordable child care. #DayWithoutChildCare Share this website with our elected leaders to call on them to stand with parents & providers on May 13 For more information on the May 13th Day Without Childcare, please see daywithoutchildcare.org **If you have any questions, please contact Jaya Chatterjee (jchatterjee@communitychange.org) and Meredith Loomis Quinlan (mquinlan@communitychange.org) at Community Change.
