ALL IN For Safe Schools

The harmful national political environment toward immigration policy and diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives is deeply impacting millions of California families and children. From book bans to attacks on the rights of transgender youth and children in immigrant families, these actions threaten the safety, mental health and opportunities of millions of children, particularly those from marginalized communities. To protect their futures, we must prioritize making schools safe, inclusive spaces where all children can learn, grow and thrive.

The Children’s Partnership and Californians Together have relaunched our ALL IN for Safe Schools campaign and are coordinating with educators, policymakers, organizations and community partners nationally and across California to ensure that our schools and early learning centers are safe for all families. We want: 

• To support educators and early learning providers in creating welcoming spaces and to better serve children in immigrant families and LGBTQ+ youth in California.
• To protect and strengthen enrollment in health, early learning and social services for immigrant families and their children in California.
• To support the mental health and well-being of children from marginalized communities in California.
