The Panthers did free before school breakfast and after school babysitting and all sorts of actual community building like that. The PSL does protests and craft events and that's it. I guess providing consistent services is an order of magnitude more difficult than organizing marches but it just doesn't seem like the marches are getting us anywhere.

Same thing applies to childcare. There are a lot of rules and regs that make it very expensive to establish and run a child care operation. Idk if the penalties for doing it "wrong" are civil or criminal, probably varies by jurisdication.

My mom is a preschool teacher, she's done everything from an aide to even owning a daycare for a few years before giving up due to the insane laws, especially the ones passed in the wake of the Satanic Panic.

It is a very hard industry to be in because of how hard it is to take care of other people's kids and that you can easily be persecuted for the lightest mistakes and the business you work for shuttered.

Now, leftist could get away with in home daycare. Essentially the parent waives a lot of protections because the kids are being babysat by a "friend" but it gets more and more grey the more kids are involvedm
