Abstract

The article focuses on Reshma Saujani, a lawyer and activist advocating for affordable childcare and paid leave through her nonprofit, Moms First. During a September 2024 event, her question to President Donald Trump about childcare affordability highlighted the significant financial burden on American families, which amounts to over 20% of their income and costs the U.S. economy more than $122 billion annually. Saujani, who also founded Girls Who Code, emphasizes the importance of maintaining progress for women's rights amid challenges to equity programs. She recently supported a $1.7 billion investment in universal childcare for children under five in New York, marking a significant step forward in the affordable childcare movement.
