Why It Matters

This event directly aligns with our Vote Like a Dad campaign by highlighting how care policies—such as accessible, affordable childcare—benefit families and communities. As we continue our work to make these issues central to this election season, we need the dads in your life to be informed, engaged, and ready to advocate for the changes we want to see.

Can’t attend the Zoom call? You can still be part of the conversation! Share your thoughts on social media using #VoteLikeADad, and let others know why voting for family-friendly policies is so important.
