Wes Ball renews the franchise with "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes," propelling the beloved saga into a new era with a blend of grand world-building, visceral action, and poignant storytelling. 

The film opens with Caesar’s funeral, honoring his legacy and setting the tone for the rest of the movie––an integral character to the lore is celebrated without becoming the central focus. 

Set generations after Caesar's reign in a post-apocalyptic world where apes rule, and humans lurk in the shadows, Proximus Caesar (Kevin Durand) commands, aiming to maintain ape dominance. However, a young ape, Noah (Owen Teague), embarks on a journey that will challenge everything he’s been taught and ultimately define the future for both species.

Parents, child care providers, and child care advocates recently announced coast-to-coast events coinciding with the Day Without Child Care (DWOCC). The DWOCC will be held on May 13, and is designed to build support for fully funded, quality early childhood education and care.

In Ohio, The CEO [Care Economy Organizing] Project, a division of the Ohio Organizing Collaborative, will bring about 500 providers to the Ohio Statehouse. The advocates released the following statement:

“The work of caring for children and families is critical,” said Tami Lunan, director of The CEO Project. “Affordable, quality child care makes it possible for parents to go to work, knowing that the most precious people in our lives are in good hands. Yet it’s some of the most invisible and undervalued work. It’s time to invest in expanding affordable, quality child care with living wages for the hardworking child care providers who care for and nurture our children.”
