California has an obligation to end systemic injustices that create barriers to kids of color, as well as kids living in poverty, kids living in immigrant families, and kids in the foster care system, from growing up healthy and ready for college, career, and civic life. This work has only become more urgent as the impacts of the LA fires and other environmental hazards, lingering impacts of COVID-19 and federal policy changes continue to have a disproportionate impact on the lives of California’s kids, especially children of color. Kids are increasingly experiencing stress, social isolation, and disconnectedness, youth mental health issues have reached crisis proportions, and our educational outcomes, including wide disparities by race and income, continue to lag behind most other states.  \nWe urge policymakers to use the Pro-Kid Agenda as a guide to take long overdue action now to ensure California’s systems for children are equitable, well-funded, high-quality, and accountable to kids’ success. Doing right by all kids is not only the right thing to do, but it is also essential to our state’s future and ability to thrive. California’s continued economic growth and strong democracy is dependent on a healthy and well-educated workforce.  \nState policymakers need to make smart, strategic, high-quality investments in California’s children to address poverty and close the widening income divide. Working together, we can build a California where all kids have the chance to live out their dreams. The Pro-Kid Agenda can help us get there.  \nThe Pro-Kid Agenda was developed by Children Now, California’s whole-child research, policy development, communications, network building, and advocacy organization that covers the full range of children’s issues prenatal to age 26, including early learning and development, TK-12 and higher education, health, family and economic supports, and child welfare. Children Now is a member of more than 80 coalitions and networks across the state, and coordinates The Children’s Movement of California, a network of more than 6,200 diverse organizations statewide, ranging from direct service, business, labor, youth, and parent organizations to civil rights and community-based groups.  \nFor questions or comments about the Pro-Kid Agenda, please email [researchmail@childrennow.org](researchmail@childrennow.org).  \nHealth  \nBirthing Health  \nPersistent racial disparities in newborn and perinatal outcomes show that California’s leaders must do better in addressing birthing health equity, particularly for preterm birth indicators and perinatal mental health. Medi-Cal pays for a significant portion of birthsin the state and plays an outsized role in terms of closing disparities since Medi-Cal pays for more births to people of color than commercial insurance. Although doula services for Medi-Cal enrollees have been an important step towards establishing diverse care teams to support birthing people of color, maternity ward closures across the state are making access to maternity care more inequitable and inaccessible in some communities. To end racial disparities in perinatal health, the State needs to make significant and targeted investments in community services, public health programs, and social supports, in addition to access to high-quality prenatal, postpartum, and preventive health care services.  \nEnvironmental Health & Justice  \nEvery child deserves access to clean air and water and a safe place to grow and learn. California’s environmental policies have long shaped the nation’s, yet too many children continue to live, learn, and play in environments that endanger their health and development.
