The safety and well-being of our panelists and audiences are of the utmost
importance to us.

will only be available via an online livestream. Please RSVP to be reminded to watch live on
the specific event page. Viewers are welcome to submit audience questions to each event and
will be notified of individual event hashtags after they RSVP. As always, we will continue
to live caption our event livestreams so that they remain accessible to all.
The Center for American Progress also sponsors Reel Progress, a progressive film series.

The coronavirus pandemic continues to have an enormous impact on every aspect of society—including by deepening the child care crisis, which is affecting Millennials and Gen Zers. While other industries have received large bailouts to ensure that they survive the pandemic, child care has yet to see the major investments needed to stabilize the industry during the crisis and faces a potentially permanent loss of nearly half its pre-COVID-19 capacity. Please join the Center for American Progress and Next100, in collaboration with Generation Progress, for an online event discussing the importance of child care as a voting issue for Millennials and Gen Zers.
