  Working Families with Children and Iowa's Income Tax: The Importance of State Income Tax Reform

  

Infants and toddlers can't wait for the economy to recover! The economic stimulus package is a "window of opportunity" to restore cuts to infants and toddlers. This piece contains information about funds availability from ARRA that can avert proposed Community Empowerment cuts. Click on the "window" for more information.

 


 

Children cannot vote, and their issues and needs do not always receive the attention they deserve--in state and national policy.  They do not have powerful interest groups that represent them, but they do have people who can and want to be powerful voices on their behalf.

Every Child Counts mission is to activate these powerful friends of children to speak out on important child concerns--to public officials, agency directors and their employees, community and civic groups with a focus on three priority areas: 

  • Quality Early Care and Education

  • Child Well-Being and Development

  • Child and Family Economic Success
