Child Care & End Child Poverty in CA Advocacy Day
January 22, 2020

On January 22, 2020, over 50 organizations will be coming together at the State Capitol to lift up the issues impacting child care and ending child poverty in California, during the “Child Care and End Child Poverty in CA Advocacy Day”.  This is a day that we will link arms, in a shared voice to put focus on the needs of California’s poorest families and children; needs that when addressed lift families out of poverty. The messages of the day will be to show our appreciation to legislators for the funding and supports secured in 2019, but also to provide the data of the existing and growing unmet need that still exists.  This year’s event will be bigger than ever before! 

There will be a press conference at 10:00am under a tent on the West Steps of the State Capitol.  This will be an opportunity to hear from legislators representing the Legislative Women’s Caucus and leadership from both the Assembly and Senate.  Also on this day, over 90 meetings have been confirmed with individual Assembly and Senate members wherein attendees will be provided the opportunity for more one-on-one conversations.  Lunch will be provided under the tent on the Capitol grounds supplemented with a meet and greet opportunity extended to legislators and staff to join us.
