The Children’s Movement: This Is A Crisis We Cannot Ignore – Be A Champion For Kids Today!

California children and youth are in crisis. More than a year into the pandemic, learning loss, isolation, serious mental health issues and lack of preventive health care threatens this entire generation of kids. These outcomes are especially dire for Black and brown children, kids in poverty, students who are English Learners, youth in foster care and children who are in unsafe situations, all of whom face significant systemic barriers to accessing the services and support they need.

Join members from across the state in signing on to this letter urging Governor Newsom to prioritize funding for key supports for kids – across early childhood, health, K-12 education, and child welfare – in his upcoming May Revise budget proposal.
