Alliance for Children's Rights

Independence Day commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the start of the United States of America as an independent nation. It’s a time to reflect on our history and our values of freedom and unity, and to enjoy time with family, friends, and community.

These values remind us of the importance of a strong, supportive village. Every day, we are incredibly grateful for the neighbors, advocates, and families who come together to ensure our youth have the stable foundation they need to thrive.

Wishing you all a safe holiday surrounded by the ones you love! 💙

Every child deserves a safe, stable home—and the support to thrive. The Emergency Child Care Bridge Program helps foster families access immediate child care, connects them to long-term early education, and provides trauma-informed support. SB 1051 (Menjivar) ensures there is no wrong door to accessing this critical program by allowing Bridge Navigators to initiate referrals, while keeping eligibility decisions with social workers.

🌟Reduces delays
🌟Supports foster families and caregivers
🌟Helps keep children in stable placements

It’s a simple fix that strengthens a proven program—and helps children when they need it most.
