๐ฉโ๐ ๐จโ๐ Failing to properly support our kidsโ education affects all of us, no matter what business, industry, or community youโre in.๐
Through The Children's Movement of California, more than 950 organizations have signed on in support of education governance reform, which is critical to improving our students' ability to succeed. We invite you to read our latest op-ed in @EdSource from Children Now President @TedLempert on how thanks to this overwhelming support and the Governorโs leadership, we finally have a chance to reform our education governance system to work better for our kids. ๐ bit.ly/3RoExUY

Fluoride varnish has proven very effective at preventing cavities for kids. But with fewer than half of kids in Medi-Cal seeing a dentist every year, many kids are not receiving this crucial treatment.
Pro-Kid AB 350 will work to change this. Authored by @AsmMiaBonta, it will allow more kids to get fluoride treatment at school by letting those working for or under contract with a Medi-Cal doctor or dentist to apply fluoride varnish and get reimbursed, while also requiring Medi-Cal and commercial plans to cover this benefit in primary care settings for all kids under 21 years old.
Let's get this bill across the finish line! Learn more about AB 350 here ๐ bit.ly/49TcMKu

Today, through The Children's Movement, 472 organizations collectively demanded California's leaders get kids housing support! ๐
California is currently moving forward with the biggest housing investment in a decade - $10 billion to build affordable housing across the state - and it doesnโt dedicate a single dollar to housing kids. Today, 472 organizations used their collective voice to change this, sending a letter to the Governor and California legislators urging them to ensure California's housing investment includes dedicated funds for kids. ๐ ๐ bit.ly/4ohnyjw

Parents who use infant formula deserve to know if it's safe for their kids - and right now, they don't.๐
Families across California rely on infant formula to feed their newborn babies, yet it's often not clear whether they contain toxic elements like arsenic or lead. Pro-Kid AB 2302, authored by @AsmCRodriguez, would help fix that, requiring formula manufacturers to test for toxic elements and make the results public. Thank you @rfobar and @ocregister for shining a light on this important issue affecting California kids and families ๐ bit.ly/4umBdHt

Students benefit when school leaders reflect the communities they serve. ๐ซถ
While nearly 79% of California TK-12 students are students of color, only about 30% of school leaders share that background. #DELPI is helping close that gap by creating pathways for diverse and culturally responsive educators to step into leadership roles across the state, strengthening school culture, improving educator retention, and helping students feel seen and supported. โจ
California must continue investing in programs like DELPI by including funding in the state budget. ๐ซ

Right now, California is moving forward with the biggest housing investment in a decade - $10 billion to build affordable housing across the state. And it doesnโt dedicate a single dollar to housing kids.
The Children's Movement is fighting to change this. By ensuring California's $10 billion housing investment includes dedicated funds for kids, community organizations that serve children will get funds directly and less kids across the state will struggle to find a safe place to sleep. ๐ซถ
The Childrenโs Movement is more than 6,200 organizations strong. Add your organization and join this campaign TODAY. Letโs stand together and make sure kids get housing support. ๐ bit.ly/44dWD07

This May, teams of advocates assembled at the Capitol and called on our leaders to make kids' environmental health a priority. ๐ช๐
Too many kids in California are exposed to harmful chemicals and other toxins in their environments each and every day. We invite you to read the latest blog from Children Now's Health Team on how the second annual Childrenโs Environmental Health Advocacy Day brought together kids, parents, policymakers, and advocates and helped 8 critical bills improving kids' environmental health move closer to getting passed ๐ bit.ly/4arWqbT

California committing to โMedi-Cal for All Childrenโ a decade ago was a powerful promise. Today, it's in danger of being broken.
In the year since President Trump took office nearly 225,000 fewer kids were enrolled in Medi-Cal, and that number will almost certainly grow as new federal policies take effect. We invite you to read our latest op-ed on what needs to be addressed in the upcoming state budget to keep California children covered ๐ bit.ly/4x25pdz
