2026 Parent Voices 'Stand for Children Day'
Watch 2026 Stand for Children Day at the State Capitol in Sacramento as Parent Voices CA (PVCA) celebrates its 30th anniversary. It was a Good Day powered by Justice, Dignity, Love, and Power.
On May 12th, 500 parents, kids, child care providers, and lawmakers stood on business and demanded @cagovernor deliver on his promise to fund 77,000 child care spaces. Parent Voices is grateful to everyone who showed up in solidarity.
