4/29: Children's Fund Legislation introduced at Board of Supes
When: 4/29 2pm
Where: Board of Supervisors City Hall Room 250
Next Tuesday, the Children’s Fund legislation will be introduced at the Board of Supervisors. There will not be public comment that day, but we want to make sure we have a strong showing of support in front of the full Board of Supervisors, for legislation that includes our recommendations.
As we mentioned in a previous email, the Children’s Funding Community Coalition has released our priority recommendations for the reauthorization of the Children’s Fund and the Public Education and Enrichment Fund (PEEF). We have been meeting with members of the Board of Supervisors to build support for our recommendations but we need them to hear from the community!
Click here to find out how you can show your support, in addition to joining us on the 29th, by signing a supporter card, emailing your Supervisor, coming out to the next Children's Funding Community Coalition meeting, or participating in our "Young People's Workshop."
