We believe all families have the right to support and protection under the law and that the family is the foundational setting where the seeds of ethics, culture, civics, service, and patterns of connection are sowed. We support families’ efforts to provide safety, physical and mental well-being, education, and emotional resilience for their children. We advocate for policies that give all children a chance to learn, grow, and become thriving citizens.

 

Our advocacy efforts currently focus on policies to:  

• Care for the caregivers 

• Address child poverty and hunger

• Create family-friendly work policies

• Support proactive models that promote healthy development

 

Join our children and families advocacy space on MWEG Central to learn, discuss, and engage in this advocacy area.
