The Early Learning Coalition is proposing a $40 million increase in child care to improve the quality of child care for 46,000 low-income children. The Coalition’s proposal indicates that “an investment of $40 million per yearly would partially restore the child care payments cut in recent years, and strengthen the sustainability of quality programs through the Wisconsin Shares program and the YoungStar program.”

Wisconsin relies far too much on incarceration and blames children for system-wide failures.

Kids Forward supports SB801/AB845, which would eliminate juvenile life without parole. This critical advancement towards a more developmentally appropriate juvenile justice system will reduce and repair harm, decrease racial disparities, increase child and family wellbeing, and increase opportunities for community-based alternatives to incarceration.
