Parent Voices has worked to build relationships with local, state and federal elected officials over the years, co-sponsoring multiple pieces of legislation helping to move our mission forward. They worked with a broader coalition to convince the state legislature to waive copayments that families qualifying for child care assistance would otherwise have had to pay—saving families with low incomes over $224 million since the pandemic started.

Through grassroots organizing and leadership development, they activate and center the wisdom of parents to transform child care and ensure all systems that impact our families are just, fair, and inclusive. They also had a fellowship program with 6 fellows who met their goal to recruit 150 new parent leaders.
