Join in celebrating Father’s Day and Children’s Week by attending a briefing with Congressional leaders, Administration officials, and child advocates focused on the importance of investing in our children. This brief will provide a first look at an upcoming Babies in the Budget report that examines yearly spending trends and the share of federal funding allocated to infants and toddlers, highlight recent successes of investments for children and the impact of federal programs, and discuss what next steps are needed to continue the commitment to kids during this appropriations season.
Hosted by First Focus on Children, ZERO TO THREE, and the Children’s Defense Fund, and in cooperation with Rep. Jimmy Gomez, chair of the Congressional Dads Caucus, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, chair of the Congressional Mamas’ Caucus, and Rep. Rosa DeLauro, chair of the Baby Caucus.
