MomsRising reporting LIVE from the Capitol during the Toddler's Choice Awards! Moms traveled from across the country to thank our allies in the White House and Congress fighting for #ChildCareForAll . We're bringing you red carpet interviews with the Toddlers and their siblings.

What an honor to receive a Toddlers' Choice Award from MomsRising!

I'm so proud to be in this fight with you. Together, we will build a child care system that works for working families.

It’s an honor to receive MomsRising’s Toddler's Choice Award for my work in Congress to support children and families. Child care, early childhood education, and healthy school meals are some of the best investments we can make. #ChildCareForAll

We need to listen to moms—and toddlers!—across the country and deliver #ChildCareforAll !

If we want an economy that works for women, kids and families, we must keep fighting to ensure that everyone can access the quality, affordable child care they need.

Child care is a big part of working families’ budgets — that's why Democrats are working to make #ChildCareForAll a reality by making care more affordable, expanding access with more child care slots and ensuring caregivers get the respect, better pay and benefits they've earned.

I couldn't wait to show Hodge my Toddlers' Choice Award, so I FaceTimed him right from the red carpet! 🏆

MomsRising are heroes for families and Congressional Dads Caucus is joining them in the fight for affordable child care and paid leave for all. #CareCantWait

Great to join @momsrising's 'Toddler's Choice Awards', talking to families about child care.

I got into politics fighting to save my kids’ preschool program. Today, I'm fighting to fix our broken child care system for families across America.

Abortion bans in FL and AZ have 'a chilling effect,' our Monifa Bandele tells Employee Benefit News. 'Even just providing time off so people can deal with these very important health situations is key.' #AbortionIsHealthCare

Some of the @momsrising stories:

“Both my husband and I worked full time and our monthly childcare expense was like a second mortgage. We were both making a decent amount of money and it was still a challenge...” – Rachel, Davenport, IA

#childcareforall

What are the child care solutions we need?
• Expanding funding and reducing prices for families
• Supporting livable wages for early educators
• Building the supply of high-quality child care to serve more children
