Today researchers across the university made calls to Columbia University in the City of New York, urging them to extend the Emergency Childcare Benefit. Parents need support!

After months of organizing and meeting with admin, @Columbia has provided a 2nd emergency childcare benefit!

A 10-day benefit is progress and we're glad the administration recognizes the need for support, but much more is needed. We will continue to fight for real support.
