Impact

Our collective efforts have increased opportunities for communities to thrive by:

  • Expanding access to quality early learning by mobilizing parent leaders to advocate for and win major public investments in early care and education

  • Increasing access to California Paid Family Leave (PFL) by campaigning for legislation that increased the wage replacement rate for PFL, and extended 12 weeks of job-protected parental leave to 2.7 million more workers

  • Increasing awareness of family leave rights through outreach and education with community-based organizations, safety net health centers, the California Comprehensive Perinatal Services Program, and the California Employment Development Department

  • Providing coordinated care to very high needs children through interdisciplinary clinic-school collaboration

  • Educating and empowering low-wage workers to enforce their rights, and catalyzing support to increase the minimum wage and create affordable housing in one of the most expensive metro areas in the nation

  • Promoting criminal justice reform and helping individuals address collateral consequences affecting their re-entry

  • Increasing community-based leadership in program development and policy advocacy
