Feeling overwhelmed by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act? It’s time to move into a solutions space and protect state funding for young children and their families!

We heard about the legislative and administrative levers advocates can pull, saw how to use data and stories to grab attention and motivate policymaker action, and discussed tactics to broaden coalitions to increase early childhood advocacy power.
Participants discussed ideas offered by Responsive Support experts, shared their own strategies, and considered what is promising and adaptable in their own states.
