Support Child Health Equity Today!

After the November election, we reaffirmed our commitment to pursuing justice and well-being for ALL children and youth in California, regardless of their race, ethnicity, place of birth, gender identity, sexual orientation, or disability.

In 2025, this means we’ll be ramping up our work to defend immigrant families, LGBTQ children and youth, families who rely on public programs like Medi-Cal, and all children and families who the incoming Presidential Administration will target. This Giving Tuesday, join us in this fight by making a contribution to The Children’s Partnership.

With your support, next year we will:

• Scale up our ALL IN for Health work with educators to include information and resources about keeping schools safe and healthy places for all children to learn, including children in immigrant families and LGBTQ children and youth.
• Continue fighting for uninterrupted access to health care for young children. In 2022, California committed to continuous Medi-Cal enrollment for children 0-5, which will help keep kids covered during a stage of critical growth and brain development. But the state has been slow to implement the policy, which the incoming federal administration could derail.
• Strengthen mental health access for young people by uplifting the leadership of eight high schools we are supporting through our Peer-to-Peer Youth Mental Health High School Pilot Demonstration. Young people across California have advocated for culturally responsive, gender-affirming mental health support, and we are proud to administer this program with the California Department of Health Care Services.

Children are resilient, but we wish they didn’t have to be. No child is immune to hateful rhetoric or attacks on their and their families’ right to exist. With your support, in 2025 we will continue standing with and advocating for our communities – communities of color, immigrant communities, queer communities, low-income communities and disabled communities – that deserve the right to thrive.
