Where children live, the color of their skin, and the economic stability of their families too often determine their destiny. These disparate outcomes are not accidental; they are rooted in generations of exclusion and unequal access to power, especially for communities of color.
In response, the Alliance creates powerful advocacy communities in all 50 states that advance the policies that ensure each and every young child can thrive.
We resource state policy advocates and technical experts to support them.
We build the peer and network connections and community that increase capacity and accelerate advocacy.
We challenge and support policy advocates as they strengthen new mindsets and skillsets.
Young children are a policy priority in every state because a bold advocacy voice, representing the unique communities and political context of each state, has political power.
Governors, state legislators, and agency officials prioritize policies and funding that promote the health and early learning of young children and their family economic stability.
"The Alliance connects us with national experts to inform our policy advocacy and to bring the best thinking to Delaware to help children and their families. Our learnings from the state and national partners have helped us be smarter on strategy and inform important decisions across the state."
