Fighting for a New York that puts children first
Our policy team calls attention to the most pressing issues impacting children and families by analyzing budgets, developing policy priorities, working closely with coalitions and partners throughout the state, and advocating directly with elected leaders to make policy change. Through this work, we ensure government leaders prioritize policies, budgets and legislation that make New York a better place for children and families.
