Care Amid Crisis

A few weeks into MN’s “State of Peacetime Emergency” regarding COVID-19, childcare centers struggle to remain open as they are both critical to frontline worker families and suffering their own decades long financial crisis. A childcare provider in Greater Minnesota, a provider in the Twin Cities and a state representative who’s championed the legislature for more childcare funding, physically distance but socially connect, for a conversation on how Minnesotans can care for those who’ve been caring for our families - before, during and after this crisis. 

Featuring:

  • Nasro Abshir (Director & Owner of Family First Choice Childcare, Minneapolis)
  • Christina Valdez (Director & Owner of Listos Preschool and Childcare, Rochester)
  • Rep. Dave Pinto (State Representative District 64B)
  • Minister JaNaé Bates (ISAIAH, host)
