ECPCA Legislative Briefing 2/10/26!

ECPCA IMAGINE Legislative Briefing: 02/10/2026 in Sacramento

We are excited to share that we are finalizing the details of our upcoming ECPCA IMAGINE Legislative Briefing! An official registration link will be sent soon, but for now, please hold Tuesday, February 10th, 2026 on your calendars.

The event will follow the same format as our powerful 2025 event (thank you!) so that legislative staff and the broader community hear what our children and families need, and understand that it is even more of a moral imperative for policymakers to end poverty amidst these federal attacks that threaten the safety and security of all Californians.

Ending poverty is truly a policy choice – we only need the political will!

End Child Poverty California is a coalition over over 170 partners building a California where all our children are valued and free.
