About the Event
On January 19, 2022, we're coming together as advocates--child care, food programs, safety net, and anti-poverty champions--for our annual “Child Care and End Child Poverty CA Advocacy Day.” Our economic landscape has shifted significantly. That shift has had a direct impact on families, children and community partners. Let's raise our unified voices in support of California's kids and families. The needs are urgent and we want to provide meaningful data and information that can support knowledgeable legislative decision making and budget positioning. On January 19th, we'll advocate for budget proposals that keep families fed, support access of families to NEW child care slots, keep family child care and centers open, and commit to lifting families out of poverty. The pandemic has put the focus on many safety net programs. We will use this opportunity of coming together to share with legislators the impacts being seen and felt in the field from struggling families pleading for some relief. Recovery in our state can only be realized when we make the priorities of families the priorities of all of us. Don't miss this impactful day of action!
