On January 12, 2011, policymakers, community leaders, and advocates came together for the the 2011 California Working Families Policy Summit.
In addition to offering a hot-off-the-press overview of the Governor’s just-released budget, leading advocates released priority policy proposals to improve the health and well-being of California’s families. Recommendations focused on health care, welfare, school services, early learning, child care, asset building, housing, food stamps, nutrition programs and paid leave.
Handouts and materials from the panels are available here.
This summit was hosted by the California Center for Research on Women and Families and co-sponsored by the California Endowment, the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health, the New America Foundation, the California Legislative Women’s Caucus, and the California Commission on the Status of Women.
