April 26-28, 2020 in Washington D.C.

Every child deserves a strong start in life.

That’s why, each year, we invite advocates from across the country to Washington D.C. to advocate for policies that benefit kids.

Together, we can influence our elected officials and drive positive change on behalf of children.
