Many books dealing with race, sexuality, and identity are being banned across America. As @CDFTexas' Maggie Stern recently told @TeenVogue, these bans are harmful because they suggest “students’ lives and experiences are inappropriate.” bit.ly/3UvY8l3
There's so much work to be done to improve child well-being in America. This week, on @tavissmiley show, @RevDrStarsky laid out some of the legislative actions we need our lawmakers to move forward to ensure all of America's children thrive. Listen here: bit.ly/3xRMNDd

We filed an amicus brief to protect Texas LGBTQ youth from #SB12. It would ban drag performances in front of children. Our national litigation strategist @tbh4justice told @nachoaguilar it blocks constitutionally protected expression that can affirm youth. keranews.org/texas-news/202…

Thousands of young families are still being impacted by the Medicaid Unwinding crisis in Texas. As @CDFTexas State Director Brandy Taylor Dédé told @HoustonChron, the situation has forced many children to either go w/o medical care or take on massive debt. houstonchronicle.com/business/artic…

Improving civic education is key to getting more young people active in democracy. | "It’s not enough to just tell people 'voting is important.' Young people are motivated by the issues affecting their community," @CDFTexas' Maggie Stern to @TexasTribune. bit.ly/3TWDaKN

Powerful moment: “how many of y’all have heard about Brown v Board” Everyone raises their hand. “How many know the 5 school board members that decided not to integrate their school district that led to tBrown?” 🦗 Instructive to our organizing for public ed @ChildDefender
After a morning with the Community Safety Working Group at @CivRightsCorps, great to join @Voice4HumanNeed member @ChildDefender at #CDFPolicyForum -- and learn from this fabulous panel with Joseph from the @ABC__Coalition PAB along w/ @CtrSocialPolicy + @dianalimongi @MomsRising
Back from lunch, our “Community Activated Policy: How Lived Experience Can Guide Policy” breakout session has kicked off with powerful statements. “Being a parent…it’s not monolithic. There’s so many styles.” - Joseph Yusuf of @ABC__Coalition Parent & Caregiver Advisory Board

Celebrating @ChildDefender’s 50th anniversary by making sure Congress keeps their commitment to fully #fundwic @CDFTexas
Excited to be at the @ChildDefender national policy forum today — celebrating 50 years of the Children’s Defense Fund’s advocating for child well-being in America!
‼️ New Census data shows the child poverty rate more than doubled in America last year, due in large part to the expiration of the expanded #ChildTaxCredit. "Allowing any of the nation’s young people to live in poverty is a policy choice." @ChildDefender childrensdefense.org/2023/child-pov…
.@ChildDefender President Rev. Dr. Starsky Wilson on why we need an expanded CTC:“The '21 expanded CTC supported families w/monthly checks of up to $300/child to cover basic necessities. It illustrated the power of a fair tax code by driving historic reductions in child poverty.”
Over 5 million US kids fell back into poverty in 2022 due almost entirely to expiring pandemic aid, especially the enhanced Child Tax Credit. This was a choice. Kids in poverty 2022: 8,983,000 Kids in poverty 2021: 3,829,000 (record low)
Children's Defense Fund (@ChildDefender) Policy Associate @Mhorshin looked at the data. This appears to be the first time the child poverty rate in the United States has increased since 2017, according to the Census' SPM measurement.
Democrats passed the enhanced Child Tax Credit and cut child poverty nearly in half. Every Republican voted against it. Republicans fought against renewing it, instead wanting to cut taxes for the wealthy and large corporations— and the child poverty rate just more than doubled.

Appreciate the personal reflections and wisdom of this Capitol Hill panel of Youth Policy Consultants from across the country via @ChildDefender
En route to this important event via @Voice4HumanNeed member CDF -- late and a bit frazzled since my own youth (14 year old) home sick today -- since I believe key that policymakers and advocates learn from these experts!
Our Youth Policy Consultants are young people marginalized by systemic inequities who have remarkable insights into systemic problems and the solutions needed. Join us on Sept. 12 at 9:30 a.m. as they share what young people need most to move forward and build fruitful lives!
