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.

When I was in college free childcare and tutoring where things we'd help the community out with, I think its a more local small niche thing than any large org per say.

We're very much in a building stage, providing awareness, a sort of tilling the soil for conditions in the core and it moves very slow since conditions we're in are comfy for many who would otherwise be totally in (this will change in the upcoming future), we're dealing with such propaganda and oppression even a free afterschool tutoring/food/whatever program or shitposting on an obscure forum makes the bourgeois tremble and drop fat checks and pull all the legal and illegal ways they can to make it stop. Societal economic changes don't happen overnight.
