As the COVID-19 crisis evolves, so does our work to ensure all children have the resources and opportunities they need to lead healthy and productive lives. More than ever in this challenging and uncertain time, The Children’s Partnership is committed to the children and families of California by advancing policies and resources to protect our communities in the face of this crisis, in particular our most marginalized. We will continue to lift up the needs of those who face disparate impact in this climate, be it from lack of access to quality care and health coverage, economic instability, or immigration status.

TCP’S 2023 POLICY + LEGISLATIVE AGENDA

The Children’s Partnership (TCP) works with local, state and national partners to advance solutions that provide all of California’s 10 million children – regardless of their race, ethnicity or place of birth – the resources and opportunities they need to grow up healthy and thrive. All of our policy priorities center the experiences of marginalized children and families and therefore focus on outcomes related to healthy children, strong, economically stable families and safe and welcoming communities.
