Ways to Act Now:
Tell Ohio House Members: Invest in Ohio's Youngest Children!
Ohio’s children and families need your help! As policymakers negotiate the state budget, Ohio's economic future depends on ensuring every child has a strong start in life by supporting working families and empowering parents. Now is the time to RAISE YOUR VOICE to urge Ohio House members to prioritize Ohio's youngest children.
Tell Congress: Protect & Strengthen Investments in Young Children!
Groundwork Ohio is urging Congress to take action to ensure continued funding for critical early childhood programs. We must prevent harmful cuts and fight for the increased investments our children and families need. Your voice matters! Contact your Members of Congress TODAY and tell them to protect and increase funding for early childhood programs.
Support the Workforce of Today and Tomorrow
Ohio needs an investment in early childhood education. Failing to invest in child care results in a signifcant loss of human and economic potential in the workforce. A stronger Ohio is one that prioritizes its children and recognizes the economic benefits of investing in their early years.
Engage with Policymakers
Let the policymakers who represent you know that early childhood policies are important and call for action. Our goals cannot be achieved without strong advocates like you who interact with families every day and who are best equipped to communicate the needs of our early education and health care systems to policymakers.
Join Family Action Network
Every family deserves to be heard, but too often families aren't included in the policymaking process that deeply affects their lives and the lives of their young children. To help elevate the voices of Ohio parents and families in the policymaking process, Groundwork Ohio is building a statewide Family Action Network.
