IECC Stands up for California Kids in Crisis

More than 1000 diverse organizations from across California, including IECC, signed on to a letter calling on state leaders to take long over-due actions on behalf of kids, including prioritizing every unrestricted dollar for supports for kids in the upcoming state budget and coordinating an all-hands-on deck, urgent approach to re-opening schools.

The needs of kids – across the early childhood, family and economic supports, health, K-12 and higher ed, housing and child welfare domains – must be California’s top priority because kids, especially kids of color and those living in poverty, have been disproportionally impacted by COVID-19; and California unfathomably sits near the bottom of the country in most measures of child well-being.

Sign On Letter: Impact of Cannabis Tax Cuts on Low Income/Children of Color

On behalf of child and youth advocates, we are writing to share our strong concerns about the recent proposal from the cannabis industry regarding state cannabis tax rates and to express our opposition to this proposal. If the industry is successful in persuading state leaders to lower, suspend and/or eliminate the tax rates approved by voters in Proposition 64, we will see an immediate, negative impact on thousands of children living in poverty and children of color across our state.
