We’ve been keeping something big under wraps, and on June 22, we’ll finally be able to tell you more.

Every family’s story is different. But too many South Carolina families are navigating the same challenge.

For some, it’s juggling work schedules. For others, it’s stretching already tight budgets, piecing together care, or making difficult decisions about what’s possible for their family.

Accessible childcare is about more than care. It’s about creating opportunities for families and building a supportive system that works for everyone.

And lived experiences have the power to shape those solutions.

South Carolina’s maternity care crisis is making headlines, and our Status of Women & Girls Report shows why this issue demands urgent attention. As WREN's Chief Strategy Officer Ashley Lidow told Spectrum News South Carolina , “Your zip code shouldn’t determine what kind of access you have.” 👏

This is why policies that support women matter. Access to care, economic security, and opportunity are ALL connected, and too many South Carolinians are still facing barriers that policy can help address.
