California’s are being pushed to the brink—by rising costs, limited child care access, and growing poverty. Yet the supports families rely on are exactly what keep parents working, children safe, and communities strong. That’s why we’re uniting with over 50 organizations on February 18 for the Lifting Up Families Advocacy Day: to make sure decision-makers hear directly from those on the front lines and the families most impacted. Families can’t wait. Stability can’t be postponed.
