Abstract	The Child Care Workers Alliance takes the position that child care professionals have the right to raise rates to a level at which they can make a living wage without feeling guilty. This booklet provides ideas and strategies for raising rates. Introductory materials provide background information, steps to raising rates, and a rationale for raising them. Subsequent articles discuss: (1) the difference between organizing for higher rates and price fixing; (2) family day care rates; (3) a child care decision support system; (4) a union perspective on raising wages for family day care providers and center staff; (5) sliding scales, scholarships, and fixed fee percentages; (6) effective ways of presenting rates in marketing the day care business; (7) other options for rate increases; (8) the process of talking to parents about raising rates; (9) letters and forms from Oakland, California's Full Cost of Care campaign; (10) accounts of activists' success in influencing governmental child care policy in Hennepin County, Minnesota; and (11) ways to bring about raises in government reimbursement rates and improved government child care policies through activism.
