Children's Campaign Fund

We are delighted to announce our new mission and vision for CCF & CCFA! Building on more than thirty years of advancing champions in the legislature, we are looking forward to the next thirty years and beyond of building political power for children, youth, and families!

HB 1314 has been signed into law! Shoutout to our CCF Champion Rep. Lisa Callan for championing this bill and helping it cross the finish line! Big thanks to CCFN's policy team, Dylan O'Connor and Chetan Soni.

Child care isn’t a luxury—it’s a lifeline. Let’s maintain funding, keep commitments to early learning, and ensure every family in Washington can access the care they need. Sign in PRO before 7am tomorrow (4/3): childrenscampaignfund.org/ccfa-action-al…

The Senate Early Learning & K-12 Education Committee has scheduled a hearing for SB 5500 on Tuesday, Feb. 4 at 8 a.m. SB 5500 is a bill that would pave the way for future investments in child care. You can support the bill RIGHT NOW: bit.ly/CC4WA-SB5500

Children's Campaign Fund Action joined One America and WAISN for a press conference and rally where community, government and labor leaders came together in solidarity against inhumane and cruel attacks on our immigrant community.🤝

Dozens of activists, families, kids, and providers gathered on the steps of the Olympia capitol to rally for affordable and accessible child care. CCFA is proud to be a part of the Child Care for WA campaign to pay providers a living wage and increase access to care for all.

HB 1314 will be heard on Thursday, January 30 at 1:30pm in the Capital Budget Committee. Please sign in PRO before Thursday, January 30 at 12:30. app.leg.wa.gov/csi/House?sele…

More than 200,000 children under 5 who need child care because all parents are working currently don't have access to state licensed child care. This back-to-school season, send legislators back to Olympia who will invest in making child care more affordable. #BackToSchool

Congratulations to CCF Rising Star 2024 awardee @RepGregNance - thanks for all you do for Washington kids and families!
