Wisconsin’s state motto, “Forward,” suggests a place where all families have the opportunity to thrive. For children that means growing up in a just and nurturing family and community. Investing in children is a social imperative with an economic payoff. It is our collective responsibility to make sure all Wisconsin families have a chance to move forward. WCCF advocates based on what the evidence shows is best for children and families. Taken together, the following policy priorities point towards a future that fulfills the promise of our state motto.
