Powerful words and important perspectives!

During our 2026 Joint Annual Conference Political Panel, Shayna Englin of the California Community Foundation shared valuable insights on the political landscape and what lies ahead for California.

This video highlights some of her powerful remarks and reminds us why conversations like these matter as we work together to strengthen communities and support California's children and working families.

Like Shayna said, "Child care is economic infrastructure."

We’re carrying these insights forward as we prepare for the “Strong Families, Strong Economy Advocacy Day” on February 24, 2027, alongside partners from across California. This statewide effort will bring together advocates from across family-serving sectors, including child care, healthcare, housing, food, and more, to the State Capitol to champion investments that strengthen California’s families, communities, and economy.

Thank you, Shayna and all of our panelists, for contributing your perspective to this important discussion!

Last month, on September 10th, the Census Bureau published a proposed rule that would change who is counted in the 2030 Census, where they are counted, and which questions the census may ask.

Here is a list from the Leadership Conference Education Fund on the proposed changes:

• Exclude any non-U.S. citizens without a green card from the apportionment count
• Eliminate questions about race and ethnicity from the census form
• Ban future questions about sexual orientation
• Tie residency to tax records rather than where people actually live
• Remove specificity and increase the risk that some groups (foster youth, people in shelters, and others) will be missed or counted in the wrong place.

Why Does the Census NPRM Matter?

State and federal administrators, advocates, researchers and policymakers rely on accurate census data to determine funding and resource allocation, assess community needs, identify racial/ethnic inequities, and to measure policy impacts.

Proposed changes to the 2030 census data could mean:

• Reduced funding for our critical social service programs that support low-income working families;
• Difficulty identifying community needs and trends that advocates rely on to increase local funding and support services;
• Continued reduction in resources and supports for California’s most vulnerable families and children.

Take Action!
➔ Submit a public comment by November 2, 2026. Tell the Census Bureau how the proposed changes could affect your community and urge the Bureau not to adopt them. https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/USBC-2026-0628-0001?utm_source=Network+Primary+List&utm_campaign=6de66af11c-AB+495+Amendments_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-8b3ccb31d8-602264046

📣SAVE THE DATE: February 23 - 24, 2027📣

Strong Families. Strong Economy. Stronger California.

Join Thriving Families CA, the Network, and a coalition of organizations and advocates from across the state for a powerful day of action on February 24 at the California State Capitol in Sacramento.

Together, we'll bring the voices of businesses, families, parents, providers, community-based organizations, and statewide advocates to the Capitol to meet with legislators and California’s state leaders and make the case for policies and investments that help families and our economy thrive.

To prepare for the day, all Advocacy Day participants are invited to join us on February 23 for advocacy training and preparation for legislative meetings.

Our message is simple: Families make California work, so California should work for families.
Child care, food, housing, transportation, and family support services aren’t extras—they are critical economic infrastructure that helps families work, businesses thrive, and communities grow.
Together, we’ll bring the voices of families and the organizations that serve them directly to the Capitol.

📅 February 23–24, 2027

📍 California State Capitol | Sacramento, CA

What brought you here?

Our 2026 Joint Annual Conference brought together professionals from across California to connect, share experiences, exchange ideas, and bring new insights back to the communities they serve.

At the heart of our work is a shared commitment to one essential question: What will it take to ensure every child and family has the support they need to thrive?

We caught up with an attendee to hear about their experience, what they learned, and what they're taking away from this year's conference!

Because when we invest in the people who support children and working families, we strengthen all of California!
