Child Care Aware of Washington Stands With Asian Communities

Child Care Aware of Washington stands with Asian communities and all families of color who face the long-lingering impacts of racism and police brutality. We remain committed to ensuring that all children and families, especially those who are furthest from opportunity because of systemic racism, have access to equitable, quality child care and early learning programs that lead to thriving families, caregivers, providers and communities.
Child Care Aware of Washington condemns the horrific murders in Atlanta, as well as recent anti-Asian hate crimes in our own communities and we are outraged that, once again, racism has led to deaths. The fact there has been such harm to Asian people, demonstrates once more that racism in all its forms must stop.
We condemn the racial hatred espoused by individuals and hate groups that too often use inexcusable violence. We oppose white supremacy in all its forms. Rhetoric that dehumanizes people is unacceptable always, and we abhor the violence too many people of color have experienced.
