Child Care & End Child Poverty Advocacy Day
January 22, 2020
California Endowment and The State Capitol
9:30am-4:00pm

Register Here!

We invite you to partner with those noted above for a Child Care & End Child Poverty Advocacy Day!

This is a day that advocates will join together, in a shared voice, to advocate for more child care and policies to eradicate poverty.  The focus of this day is not just on child care and early learning, but on ending child poverty and talking about the supports that the families we all touch need.  

In the morning we will hear from experts about what Governor Newsom has proposed in his January budget.  We then will have time to ask questions and discuss our collective strategy for meeting with legislators in the afternoon.  The legislative meeting times will be set up and you simply need to share with us who you would like to meet with, i.e., your elected representatives.  It is encouraged that if you have district specific information relevant to a specific legislator, bring it.  After this session at the Endowment, we will walk over to the Capitol for lunch and legislative visits.  

**Please note, there is an option for those who want to hit the ground running and go straight to the Capitol to start legislative visits in the morning. Please let us know which option you are interested in when you register. **
