Are you bored with Congress out for recess? It\u2019s the perfect time to catch up on your episodes of “Speaking of Kids,” the podcast that puts children at the center of public policy<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MomsRising co-founder Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner joins us on this week\u2019s episode<\/a><\/strong> to discuss the \u201cdominoes of doom\u201d that befall families after the birth of a child in the United States. Rowe-Finkbeiner outlines our national structural crisis around paid family and medical leave, affordable child care, and the Child Tax Credit, and the tactics needed to address it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe know the policies that we need for a solution,\u201d she says, noting that successful care structures have been implemented by states, other nations and even by the U.S. federal government during the pandemic. \u201cIt\u2019s not about the policies, right? It\u2019s about making sure that we\u2019re trying lots of different tactics to be heard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
