Advocacy
We’re committed to building space for conversation between community members, elected officials, and government agencies that shorten the distance between the policy that’s being created and those living it.
Join us in advocating for universal access to child care.
Universal access to child care means that affordable, high-quality child care is available to all families – starting with those who need it most. Access to reliable care allows families to work, pursue education, or pursue other opportunities knowing that their children are well-cared for.

Advocacy is for everyone.
It takes all of us to make big change.
Advocacy Pods are open to all members of the early learning spectrum who live in the same legislative district, including: Child care providers, parents, Family, Friend, & Neighbor caregivers, BrightSpark staff and board members, and community partners. Each Pod meets with their elected officials to share the realities of what it’s like to navigate finding and offering care in their neighborhoods.
