Overview

The resources and care available at the start of a child’s life have a crucial impact on their health, safety, development and future success. But not every child starts on equal footing. Kirsten’s Family Bill of Rights will help close the gap — and she’ll make it a priority in her first 100 days as president.

Bonus

Check out this amazing quote from the Huffington Post:

“So far, as candidates roll out different elements of their platforms and visions, it’s been piecemeal,” said Vicki Shabo, a senior fellow at the nonpartisan think tank New America, whom HuffPost asked to review the platform. Gillibrand’s plan is the first to acknowledge how disparate factors like health care, paid leave, and quality child care are interconnected, Shabo continued. “That’s very exciting. Policymakers are often very good at tackling peoples’ lives and problems as if they’re siloed. Real people experience big life challenges as a package.”
