For Our Children’s Future: 30th Anniversary Speaker Series
The Children’s Partnership (TCP) is proud to celebrate thirty years as a premier non-profit policy organization dedicated to moving the needle forward for the health and well-being of all children. Starting in October 2023, TCP is honoring its 30th anniversary with our “For Our Children’s Future: 30th Anniversary Speaker Series.” We are honoring our belief that California is stronger in its commitment to children because of work we have accomplished together over the last 30 years. At the same time, as our state and nation continue to be at a critical juncture in their commitment to children, we are recommitting ourselves to the work needed to ensure the healthy development of all children as we look to the next 30 years and beyond.
A Child’s Right to Thrive
On April 23, 2024, The Children’s Partnership hosted Melanie Fontes Rainer, director of the Office for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, in conversation with TCP President Mayra E. Alvarez.
This online fireside chat featured Fontes Rainer and Alvarez discussing some of the most pressing topics in child health equity today: How can children grow up healthy without access to culturally competent and linguistically appropriate care? How can parents of queer and transgender children support their children’s well-being amidst increasing homophobic and transphobic attacks? Will today’s children grow up with fewer rights than their parents?
