In honor of Black Maternal Health Week 2025 (#BMHW25), the Alliance for Early Success and the Michigan Council for Maternal and Child Health (MCMCH) are co-hosting a webinar on engaging community voice and partnerships to enhance maternal health. Learn about community-informed research and policymaking to support Black maternal health in Michigan.
The Alliance and the Center for the Study of Child Care Employment discuss CSCCE’s 2024 child care workforce index and how the index’s messages and findings can be used to drive policy change that centers the experiences of early educators in all 50 states.
Early childhood and reproductive justice advocates share a vision that parents nurture their children in safe and healthy environments. Both movements value family decision-making, community knowledge and leadership, and policy change. Together, early childhood and reproductive justice advocates can create a world in which maternal and child health are optimized and families with young children live in thriving communities. This webinar explores the history and origins of the reproductive justice movement, reviews of the structural and systemic policy impacts on Prenatal-to-3, and names the mutual values and priorities shared with early childhood advocates.
The Alliance for Early Success and ZERO TO THREE recently launched a new collaborative community on Part C Early Intervention, where advocates can connect and reflect with other advocates working in this critical state policy area.
Advocates from more than a dozen states recently logged into a quick-response huddle to talk through issues relating to public statements—namely when, why, how, and to whom we should make them. The conversation was facilitated by Josh Gryniewicz of Odd Duck Communications, the Alliance’s new responsive support provider for communications and narrative framing.
Each year, the Alliance for Early Success surveys early childhood policy advocates representing all 50 states and the District of Columbia to create its annual 50-State Early Childhood Policy Progress and Landscape Report. The 2024 report, released in January, shows that support for state early childhood policies and funding continued to be strong, with policymakers from every region and political landscape acting to improve their early childhood policies.
