Join us to celebrate Dia de los Niños (Children’s Day), a cherished and traditional celebration that embraces the joy, wonder, and diversity of childhood. All families are invited to celebrate this holiday with interactive activities, food, art, and meaningful connections for children and families in our community.
Join us to hear more about the vibrant immigrant and refugee communities in Wisconsin—including their many strengths—and how you can better incorporate immigrant needs and priorities into your work and advocacy.
We are deeply distressed by the continuing violence affecting children in conflict zones, including the recent tragic events in Gaza. Our stance is unequivocal: violence towards children in any form, under any circumstances, is intolerable.
Whether Black, Brown, or white, rural or city, we all can thrive when state leaders invest in our children, families, and communities. Tax cuts for the rich are not the path to prosperity and will only make income inequality in Wisconsin worse.
Economic hardship has a long-lasting negative impact on children—affecting their health and wellness over the course of their lives. Ensuring families can meet their basic needs should be a key goal for the 2023-25 state budget.
Wisconsin can be a place where we all—regardless of race or place—have what we need to overcome challenges and make our families safe and well. The state’s historically large surplus is an opportunity to build a stronger foundation for children and families in our state, like access to child care and health care, good schools, and affordable homes.
Regardless of race, place, or income, every child in Wisconsin deserves a strong start in life. This early foundation plays a critical role in life-long health and wellness. But systemic racism and poverty destabilizes families and communities and creates unhealthy conditions and barriers that harm children in their early development. This process of destabilization not only prevents children from having a strong start but can persist over the course of their lives.
Every child deserves a quality K-12 education that sets them up for opportunities and success, regardless of school district or zip code. However, Wisconsin public schools continue to face many substantial challenges.
The Wisconsin state budget is an opportunity to rewrite the rules, ensure the wealthiest pay what they owe, and provide our communities with better schools, quality affordable health care, and more. Does the Governor’s budget proposal address racial disparities and, if so, how? Join us April 6 to hear more.
Taxes are a critical way of providing the resources, infrastructure and services that increase quality of life for all Wisconsinites. They also play an important role in expanding opportunity and enhancing racial equity.
