Today, The Imprint will host a nonpartisan governor’s forum in California to discuss critical issues to children and families with candidates to succeed Gov. Jerry Brown (D).
Building our Future: A Forum on Children with California’s Gubernatorial Candidates will offer an important opportunity to hear from candidates about some of the most important issues related to children’s health, youth justice, child poverty, access to technology, child welfare and educational equity.
In advance of the forum, we asked several top candidates to share their ideas on child welfare, juvenile justice, child poverty, immigration, access to technology, children’s health and educational equity.
