About this listen

Oregon's subsidized child care program, Employment Related Day Care (ERDC), is on course to run out of money in less than a year. If that happens, thousands of families would lose child care, and with that, the ability of parents to work. That would be catastrophic for families and the state, explain our two guests: Marchel Kaleikini and Ivy Major-McDowall of For All Families Oregon.

Marchel and Ivy discuss the state of child care in Oregon, why ERDC is such a vital program, and what the Oregon legislature needs to do to ensure families don't lose child care.
