Promote the value of work to include areas that have been traditionally devalued, including service industry jobs, child and eldercare, and teaching

A nation’s strength is measured not only by its wealth, but by how it cares for its families and children. Yet in America, new parents are forced back to work too soon, childcare costs more than rent, parents juggle multiple jobs to make ends meet, teachers scrounge to provide their students with supplies, and millions must choose between caring for their children or keeping their jobs. This is not support—it is neglect.

No parent should have to sacrifice their entire income to raise a child. No child should be denied care because their family and teacher cannot afford it. 

A society that invests in families and children invests in its future. Nations with paid leave and childcare see stronger economies, healthier children, and greater workforce participation. Supporting parents and teachers is not a burden; it is the foundation of prosperity.

Project 2029 ardently supports guaranteeing paid leave for new parents, funding affordable childcare initiatives, and providing support for teachers so they can supply their students with what they need. Most critically, we believe in supporting mothers by providing pregnancy support, making postpartum care accessible, facilitating child development, and offering resources for long-term family support.
