| Abstract: | California has an obligation to end systemic injustices that create barriers to kids of color, as well as kids living in poverty, kids living in immigrant families, and kids in the foster care system, from growing up healthy and ready for college, career, and civic life. This "2026 Pro-Kid Policy Agenda" for California is the comprehensive state-level roadmap to ensure that all children have the necessary services and supports to reach their full potential. Guidance is included for the following topics: (1) health; (2) education; (3) family supports; and (4) child welfare. Policymakers are urged to use the "Pro-Kid Agenda" as a guide to take long overdue action now to ensure California's systems for children are equitable, well-funded, high-quality, and accountable to kids' success. |
