Dear Members,
Every day, we have the immense honor of representing you, our extraordinary early learning and care community, who stand as the economic backbone of California, shaping the brightest future for our children and families.

On May 13, 2025, advocates from across California came together to turn passion into policy at EveryChild California’s Advocacy Day.
We are deeply grateful to all who joined us for Advocacy Day 2025—a powerful day of collective action at the State Capitol. From early educators and program administrators to families and policy allies, your presence sent a clear message: California’s early care and education community is united, resilient, and ready to be heard. The halls of the Capitol were filled with your stories, your passion, and your unwavering commitment to building a stronger, more equitable future for our children and those who care for them.
Your advocacy truly made an impact. By showing up, sharing your experiences, and engaging with lawmakers face-to-face, you helped ensure that the needs of our field are not just acknowledged, but prioritized. Events like Advocacy Day remind us that real change begins with connection—and we are honored to stand alongside such a courageous and dedicated community. Thank you for showing up and speaking out.
Your voice in advancing and uplifting this priority truly makes a meaningful impact.
