Naomi D. (nomer15) -
This book is full of stories and statistics supporting the fact that multiple social policy changes need to be passed through Congress in order to demonstrate support of America's families.
I was already convinced that changes needed to occur prior to reading this book, but that feeling has been cemented after reading this book. America lags far, far behind the rest of the world when it comes to caring for its families. We need to catch up, and it will take a grassroots movement of moms, dads, and grandparents uniting together to show Congress that paid family leave, flexible work schedules, liveable wages, TV that we choose, better afterschool programs, and quality, affordable childcare are not optional. They are necessities in this day and age.
