The day after Mother’s Day, Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman joined working moms at a rally in Northridge to call attention to the dire shortage of affordable child care in Los Angeles and across California.
“I would gladly give up (Mother’s Day) if my state government were to tell me that we are going to fully fund the cost of child care for every single working parent that deserves it here in the state of California,” said Raman, the mother of two second-graders, on Monday, May 13.
