Where are all the free childcare programs? The American left does nothing but throw protests (hexbear.net)

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.

Oddly enough I've seen a lot of announcements on Instagram. "Upcoming events" posted by a leftist bookstore or church nearby may also be helpful - yesterday I found out this way that apparently there is a Chicago chapter of Extinction Rebellion. But word of mouth is the best way, a lot of orgs just don't have good social media or get squashed by the algorithm.
