Synopsis: All children deserve access to the conditions and opportunities they need to thrive, unbiased accessible healthcare and high-quality learning opportunities, safe, toxin free communities and stable housing, access to nutritious meals, and secure, warm, and available caregivers who love them. Historic and contemporary injustices in U.S. society have created inequities in opportunity and access to resources for Black, Latin, Asian, American Indian and Alaska Native, other children of color, or disabilities, poverty, and marginalized.

Also, solutions to address these inequities as to reimagine a fairer U.S. American society, from its youngest residents, where all families have what they need to thrive.
