Transforming Lives Through Policy Advocacy
In 2025, we collaborated with people in communities across New York State, achieved evidence-based policy reforms, and worked alongside grassroots organizers and elected officials; all while focused on our vision of a New York State where every child thrives. We partnered with parents, child care providers, young adults, faith leaders, pediatricians, educators, and community advocates dedicated to building the future every child deserves.
In this report, you’ll find stories of these policy wins, hear from advocates in the movement, and learn how to join us in creating a brighter future for New York’s children and families. Federal support for those in need will diminish in 2026, so New York leaders and advocates must act boldly.
Our Supporters Make This Work Possible.
We advocate for policies that dismantle inequities while strengthening family health, wellbeing, and economic security across our state.
