The only special interest we advocate for is NY's children and families, with a focus on those impacted by poverty & inequity.

The state has a responsibility to these New Yorkers; the budget will reflect just how seriously our leaders take that responsibility.

[The Children's Agenda @childrensagenda]

New York had an opportunity to transform the way we serve children. However, with a couple of notable exceptions, the new state budget did not live up to this promise.

The demand for social workers is reflected in the statistics. Did you know that by 2030, there will be more than 782,00 social workers in the United States? This makes social work one of the fastest-growing professions in the United States. #SWMonth2024 #EmpoweringSocialWorkers

Raising the SNAP min benefit not only supports food security, but also fights child poverty. NYS has committed to reducing child poverty by 50%--let's make that happen with this & other poverty fighting investments. Take action with us now: https://t.co/v98EN1EzBh

[The Children's Agenda @childrensagenda]

It's not too late to tell our elected officials to invest in Early Intervention for kids with developmental delays & disabilities.

[FYSA @FYSA_NYS]

Big thanks @tobystavisky and the Higher Education Committee for your advocacy efforts to ensure youth with a #fostercare background have the resources they need to make it to and through college from start to finish! #FYSA #FYCSI #NYChildWelfare

[The Children's Agenda @childrensagenda]

We go farther when we go together. That's why we joined with 80+ organizations across NY calling on the Governor to invest in permanent solutions to the child care availability and affordability crisis.

We thank @AndreaSCousins for including $10 million in the Senate one-house to support NY’s #fosteryouth! We urge @GovKathyHochul to fund FYCSI at 10 million in FY25 to ensure no #fosteryouth is left behind when they pursue higher education! #FYSA #FYCSI #NYChildWelfare
