Allies for Antiracism

The Alliance is committed to centering racial equity in our strategic planning and in the community building that is central to our work.

Making Connections that Accelerate Advocacy

When you combine connections to peers, access to experts, funding, rapid response, and real-time conversation, you get a unique kind of support for state early childhood policy advocates that makes unexpected gains possible.

Resource Centers

The Alliance for Early Success has deep expertise and extensive connections in a long list of early childhood policy areas.

In our resource centers, we connect state advocates — and the broader field — with research, briefs, data sets, state policy examples, and more that represent the latest state early childhood policy knowledge and resources that they need to plan and inform.

In 2022:

84%
of states reported that practitioners are involved in advocacy to a large or very large extent.
47%
of states reported an increase in state funding for family economic security programs, totaling more than $4.7 billion.
59%
of states reported a policy advance in maternal/child health.
