Advocacy
We’re committed to building space for conversation between community members, elected officials, and government agencies that shorten the distance between the policy that’s being created and those living it.
Join us in advocating for universal access to quality child care.
Universal access to child care means that affordable, high-quality child care is available to all families – starting with those who need it most. Access to reliable care allows families to work, pursue education, or pursue other opportunities knowing that their children are well-cared for.Â
Join an Advocacy Pod to make collective change!
Advocacy Pods are open to all members of the early learning spectrum, including: providers, parents and guardians, Family, Friend, & Neighbor caregivers, BrightSpark staff and board members, nonprofits, and community partners. During our monthly pod meetings we connect around the current state of King / Pierce county and state advocacy; share advocacy tools and resources; and hold connection meetings with elected officials at all levels.
