4th Annual End Child Poverty & Child Care Advocacy Day January 4, 2023
Each legislative office received a special packet full of district specific data on strengthening and supporting whole families in their district. Further in the packet is information regarding Poverty, Early Learning Needs of Families and Children, Child Care and other Family Supports, and the Impactful Investments Needed in 2023.
Individual member packets may be found below for download:
2023 Partner Policy Priorities Paper- this is our main fact sheet for the day. It highlights policy priorities and budget asks for child care, ending child poverty, nutrition and more.
Partner Talking Papers and Information: Fact sheets, reports, letters, and talking papers provided by some of our partner organizations
On January 4th, we heard from legislative champions committed to strengthening our safety net programs, protecting the progress we have made in the last couple years, and committing to do more in 2023-24. For families to be successful then the programs that lift them up must be coordinated. No longer can we only talk about child care or housing or food insecurity. Moving forward, advocates in this space are linking arms to lift up the needs of families and support them with achieving stability and self-sufficiency.
