Ways to Act Now:
Tell Senate Members: Invest in Ohio's Youngest Children
Ohio’s children and families need your help! As the budget proposal moves from the House to the Senate, we must urge members of the Ohio Senate to restore the Governor’s budget proposal, which included critical investments in child care, maternal and infant health, and early learning. Now is the time to RAISE YOUR VOICE to urge Ohio Senate members to prioritize the needs of young children and families.
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.
