The #AmericanRescueAct is a historic piece of legislation for our country’s recovery from this pandemic and economic crisis. But I want to take a moment to mention some of the big wins we fought for to help families back home in Massachusetts:
Our state and local governments had to pick up the tab when Trump didn't come up with a federal plan to fight this pandemic. The relief bill has $8.1 billion for Massachusetts state and local government funding with much more flexibility than the CARES Act.
We need child care for parents to go back to work – and I fought for $50 billion in child care funding nationwide. Massachusetts is going to see $512 million to support child care providers and help families afford care, and $13.6 million for Head Start.
