California 2021-2022 Budget and Legislative Priorities

As California begins to recover from the unprecedented impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, Council for a Strong America recognizes the immense challenges and opportunities for advancing policies and programs that positively impact the wellbeing of our children and youth. We believe all children and youth should have the opportunity to be healthy, educated, and cared for, and that the child care industry is a vital backbone to California’s future economy - now and always. Together, we can increase economic security for all families while supporting safer communities, healthier children, and a more productive economy. In the 2021 legislative cycle we are working with the California legislature as our members advocate for policies and programs that improve our national security, public safety, and economy and impact the wellbeing of children and youth specifically in the areas of:

• Early Childhood Care & Education
• Children’s Health & Nutrition
• Expanded Learning Programs, and
• K-12 and Postsecondary Education

We invite you to view our Budget and Legislative Agenda for our three organizations:

• 2021-2022 ReadyNation Budget and Legislative Policy Agenda
• 2021-2022 Fight Crime: Invest in Kids Budget and Legislative Policy Agenda
• 2021-2022 Mission: Readiness Budget and Legislative Policy Agenda

Join us together, with our members and partners of ReadyNation, Fight Crime: Invest in Kids, and Mission Readiness, as we help build a better California.
