[11] “Congress must oppose additional money for immigration agencies that harm children and instead invest in the conditions that allow all children and families to thrive: health, stability, opportunity, and belonging.” Liza Davis, @kidspartnership.bsky.social

[1] Congressional leaders are pushing forward harmful funding proposals & will vote this week to potentially hand federal immigration agencies an additional $62B for detention and family separation—on top of the $170B they received last year. childrenthriveaction.org/2026/05/chil...

We are proud to join the Medi-Cal 2030 coalition calling on our state leaders to transform Medi-Cal into a safety net that is person-centered, accountable, and sustainable. Read our guiding principles at www.cpehn.org/medi-cal-2030

@cagovernornewsom.bsky.social @assemblydems.bsky.social we're looking to your leadership on #KidsHealth to build on the Senate’s #CABudget plan! Protect our families from the harms of #HR1.

#AB2126 (Elhawary) passed the CA Assembly HS Committee today! It's a youth #MentalHealth bill that will remove barriers & create paths to peer mentor jobs for former #FosterYouth. Why does it matter?:

We proudly support affordable, quality #ChildCare. It's a children's health issue. That's why we signed onto @childcareforeveryfamily.org's letter OPPOSING harmful new federal child care legislation. @clasp.org @nwlc.org #Policy #KidsHealth childcareforeveryfamily.org/press-releas...

Enough is enough. Call on the Department of Homeland Security to close the Dilley Detention Center, end child and family detention, and stop the expansion of detention sites. Take Action Now! --> momsrising.org/end-family-detention #ShutDownDilley #EndFamilyDetention #StopICEWarehouses

The true cost of running a child care keeps going up while reimbursement rates fall behind, forcing providers to close their doors while children and families lose options for accessing quality care and early learning.

Educators and parents can access free curricula for all ages directly from the #DoloresHuerta Foundation: tinyurl.com/DoloresDay

Take #DoloresHuertaDay into all of April. Children need to know they have the power to create change in their communities. The story of Dolores Huerta and the civil rights movement in California can teach young people the power of solidarity and the strength of their own voices. #WomenLeaders

Alongside co-sponsors Latino Coalition for a Healthy California, @healthaccess.bsky.social, @caimmigrant.bsky.social, & the #Health4All coalition, we advocate to end the freeze on Medi-Cal.

Today we honor #FarmWorkers & the movement that has fought for fair wages & safe conditions since the 1960s.

TCP joined #Health4All champs last week to unveil our CA health care policy and budget proposals. 🔥SB 1422 (Durazo) would #EndtheFreeze on Medi-Cal enrollment for certain undocumented Californians. ☑️AB 2161 (Bonta) would stop unjust bureaucracy from impacting state-funded Medi-Cal members.

Trump’s ICE arrested, detained, and deported families, children, and neighbors. Many were legally eligible to stay but didn't have a lawyer to raise their own defense. @AsmMiaBonta’s AB 2600 is a due process solution to this tragedy. Pass it!

A trans child is a child – and all children need access to health care to thrive. Yet more than half of U.S. states limit youth access to critical, life-preserving care, due to massive misinformation campaigns that have helped harmful policies take hold.

“He’s not the same boy as he was before.” Children’s well-being should be the first thing we think of in every action we take. Right now, ICE is terrorizing communities. Stop the terror. Protect children’s health and well-being. #KeepFamiliesTogether #KidsHealth www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Love is resistance. This #ValentinesDay, we stand with immigrant Californians. Nearly half of all CA children are part of immigrant families, & almost all are U.S. citizens. Immigrant parents bring a wealth of cultural & linguistic diversity to our state. #ToImmigrantsWithLove #IStandWithImmigrants

[2] New reporting from @propublica.org elevates the voices & experiences of just a few of these children, who report contaminated water and food, insufficient medicine, and anguish from being torn from their homes, loved ones, and routines of school and play. www.propublica.org/article/life...

[1] As Congress’s deadline approaches to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), growing numbers of children and families continue to suffer in immigrant family detention. childrenthriveaction.org/2026/02/chil...

From @themarshallproject.org: "The number of children in ICE detention on a given day has skyrocketed, jumping more than sixfold...." If we care about children's health, then no children should be in detention. Full stop. www.themarshallproject.org/2026/01/29/i... #KeepFamiliesTogether

The @ameracadpeds.bsky.social shares that ICE raids are directly harming kids' safety, mental, & physical health. "We're pediatricians. We see how ICE is harming children." URGENT: Make the call to Congress! ☎️ (202) 224-3121 No more funding for ICE & DHS! #KeepFamiliesTogether

URGENT: Make the call 2/12 & 2/13! ☎️ (202) 224-3121 No more $ for DHS & ICE. Families are being ripped apart by immigration agents and children are suffering from anxiety, depression, physical illnesses, and more. This is a children’s health crisis. @nilc.org @caimmigrant.bsky.social

BREAKING: We’re suing on behalf of Minnesota school districts and educators to block DHS and ICE from conducting immigration enforcement in or near public schools. Toddlers are getting tear gassed. ICE’s actions are a threat to children’s safety and education. This reign of terror must end.

ACTION! Tell #Congress to stop funding ICE. Immigration terror is a children's health crisis, breaking families apart and destroying community safety. via @nilc.org act.nilc.org/page/93101/a...
