Free child care? Yes, but only on election day
LA TimesParents in Los Angeles don’t need to let child care costs prevent them from voting in person Tuesday — especially with the future of child care funding at stake. Olympic track and field star Allyson Felix is teaming up with national and local nonprofits, including the Chamber of Mothers’ Vote Like a Mother project, to offer free child care to parents on election day. And Bumo, an online marketplace with hundreds of partner child care facilities across Southern California, is donating $10,000 in child care services that parents can access with the code “VOTE” at checkout. Election day child care options can be found through Politisit, a national nonprofit that has been providing free child care to voters since 2020, with drop-in sites across the country. “Families are just grateful for the opportunity to have free child care on this day,” she said.
