Help secure critical
early childhood funding for
families in need.

Education Funding
The ongoing state budget battle threatens critical educational resources, with over 11,000 subsidized childcare slots at risk of being cut. This impacts low-income children and families who rely on these services and many early childhood education providers who face financial difficulties.
Take Action Now
Call Governor Gavin Newsom’s office at (916) 445-2841 to advocate for the maintenance and expansion of subsidized childcare slots.

Behavioral Health Funding
The commendable decline in smoking rates has decreased tobacco tax revenues, a vital funding source for ECS Para Las Familias (PLF) and other behavioral health programs. PLF provides indispensable services to low-income children and families, essential for their development and well-being.
As these funding sources dwindle, finding sustainable alternatives to support these critical programs becomes increasingly urgent.

Donate to support PLF directly.
