Make San Antonio a City for Kids!
Join us for the 10th Annual
Congress on Children - September 26th

 

Help us celebrate a decade of local, organized advocacy for children as we focus on our collective power to make San Antonio a City For Kids.

We’ll honor the lifetime of achievement and advocacy for children of San Antonio’s own Ralph Bender – a man who always attracted like-minded allies to make real change in countless young lives.

We’ll learn from experts about the tools of advocacy—framing our message, understanding our audience, and combining our voice for community change.

Former Lt. Governor Bill Ratliff and chair of Raise Your Hand Texas will update us on the efforts of that bipartisan group of Texas business and community leaders to ensure that all children have access to high quality pre-kindergarten and kindergarten programs, smaller class sizes across all grade levels, multiple paths to a high school diploma, and the vital resources needed to keep our public schools strong.

And we’ll hear advocacy updates in our three areas of major interest: child abuse & neglect, early care & education, and health care.

City Budget process is in the last stretch!

City Council District Budget Hearings will conclude on August 28.  Follow link for SCHEDULE

The Voices Early Care & Education Task Force has been meeting with Council Members and their staff to urge a $1.5 million dollar investment in the professional development of our childcare teachers.

If you agree with the research, that well-trained teachers are the essential ingredient in a quality pre-school experience for kids, then please lend your voice to our effort!

If you can not make your district hearing, drop your council member a brief note or phone call.  Their email and number is also on the schedule!
