Don't Call Me Resilient™
STORIES OF MILITARY FAMILIES.
SOLUTIONS FOR LASTING CHANGE.
Military families are often told they're resilient. While resilience is something to be proud of, it shouldn't be required when it comes to accessing safe, reliable child care.
This campaign highlights the lived experiences behind that reality and calls for solutions that support families instead of expecting them to overcome unnecessary barriers.
FEATURED STORY
Resilient? Maybe. Determined? Always.
When denied childcare because my internship was unpaid, I refused to accept “no.”
I documented every shift, researched policy, found unity in other spouses.
We amplified our voices, determined families balancing education and service would
finally be heard.
Now, as I finish my master’s, I see the first signs that advocacy matters.
Change is slow, but our voices--thousands strong--are rising.
