ADVOCACY ALERT!
New York State Senate & Assembly 
PROPOSED BUDGETS are Now on the Table
 
Tell Your Legislators to
Protect Children & Families
in the NY State Budget!

Join Westchester Children's Association and Campaign for Kids as we urge state officials to protect vital services for children and families.

 

ACT NOW!  Contact your state officials today, and tell them to... 

  • Children and Youth Services
    • Support higher restorations for children and youth services such as home visitation, after school programs, youth development, and runaway and homeless youth; and reject the Primary Prevention Incentive Program (PPIP).

 

  • TANF
    • Oppose enacting stricter public assistance work requirement sanctions that include closing and terminating the entire family's case, penalizing children, until the parent complies.

 

  • Juvenile Justice
    • Support the downsizing of juvenile justice facilities with reinvestment of full savings into community-based alternatives to detention and incarceration programs.

 

  • Health
    • Oppose the Medicaid Redesign Team proposal #104 to establish co-payments for child Health Plus B.

 


Contact your state officials TODAY

and ask them to protect and sustain critical programs for children!
