We're so excited to be presenting our second annual Advocates and Legislators of the Year Awards. This year, we're pleased to recognize the Gary Community Ventures Group (Reilly Pharo Carter, Zach Martinez, and Steffanie Clothier) and the School Finance Group (Representative Julie McCluskie, Representative Jennifer Bacon, Senator Paul Lundeen, and Senator Rachel Zenzinger), who were key in making big improvements to Colorado's school funding this year. These individuals are all amazing partners who have worked tremendously hard to better the lives of Colorado families. Congratulations! We will be celebrating our Advocates and Legislators of the Year at the 2024 Connection Reception on September 12. Get your tickets today! https://lnkd.in/gsaizsYg

About us
The Colorado Children’s Campaign is a nonprofit, nonpartisan advocacy organization committed since 1985 to realizing every chance for every child in Colorado. Using the most accurate, compelling data and research on child well-being and backed by an extensive, statewide network of dedicated child advocates, the Children’s Campaign champions policies and programs that improve child health, early childhood experiences, and K-12 education, help lift children out of poverty and provide all of Colorado’s children the opportunity to reach their full potential. Specifically, we work to ensure: • All families have safe, stable housing and the financial resources they need to support their well-being and achieve economic prosperity. • All youth believe they belong, feel vital to their communities, and have the resources, opportunities, and support they need to thrive in adolescence and beyond. • All families have comprehensive health insurance, strong social support, high-quality perinatal and reproductive health services, and ample amounts of healthy foods. • All children have equitable, high-quality early childhood experiences shaped by well-supported families, caregivers, and educators that foster social-emotional development, health and overall well-being. As the leading voice for Colorado’s children at the state Capitol and in communities across the state, the Children’s Campaign has been at the forefront of hundreds of policy wins for kids. Among the numerous laws and programs we’ve helped establish are the Colorado Preschool Program, Child Health Plan Plus, and the Great Teachers and Leaders Law.
