Child Care & End Child Poverty in CA Advocacy Day

On Wednesday, January 22 nd , over 250 parents, children, providers, advocacy champions and California leaders from throughout the state participated in Child Care & End Child Poverty in California Advocacy Day 2020 . This day, hosted by over 50 organizations, was one for the record books. Thank you to everyone who attended the event, shared on social media, participated in legislative visits, educating lawmakers and advocating to #EndChildPovertyCA #EndHunger and get #ChildCare4All! Collectively, we were able to connect to over 90 legislative offices in ONE DAY, and this would not have been possible without all of you! Your impact was significant!   We will be keeping this growing partnership together for an “ASK” day in May. Please stay tuned!
