“Children first action fund strategically works with legislators in a bi- partisan manner, in a non-partisan fashion, to help lawmakers learn what it takes for children to succeed and persuade them to support our legislative measures. We are singularly focused on increasing the number of elected officials who will champion investments and policies needed to ensure that disadvantaged children grow up in healthy, safe, and nurturing environments where they can learn and participate in enrichment activities that contribute to their lifetime success children first action fund employs three proven strategies to accomplish this goal. 1.deploying highly effective government affairs strategies to educate and persuade lawmakers to fight for the policies and resources we know are necessary. 2.publishing and disseminating information to citizens to enable them to judge how well lawmakers are delivering on their duty to provide services and opportunities to help children thrive from infancy to college graduation. 3.engaging policy experts to educate lawmakers and make the case for the legislation and policy changes we know will make a difference in the lives of children. The children first action fund is governed by a board of bi-partisan volunteers who raise funds that are used to lobby policymakers for improved access to high quality educational opportunities and childcare, especially for our poorest children; and to inform citizens when their elected officials are achieving that goal, and when they are not.”
