Our New 5-Year Strategic Plan
In this plan, we lay out our refined approach to collective action advocacy as well as a long-term comprehensive set of policy solutions that tackle the root causes and are driven by community insights.
New Policy Brief: DC Early Childhood Educator Pay Equity Fund
The Pay Equity Fund works to right centuries of systemic racism and sexism leading to underpayments and undervaluing of the work of early childhood educators, the majority of whom are Black and brown women.
OUR MISSION
Let’s work together to break down structural barriers that stand in the way of all kids reaching their full potential.
We're making the District of Columbia a place where all kids grow up safe, resilient, powerful and heard.
DC Action uses research, data, and a racial equity lens to break down barriers that stand in the way of all kids reaching their full potential. Our collaborative advocacy campaigns bring the power of young people and all residents to raise their voices to create change.
DC Action is the home of DC Kids Count, Under 3 DC, DC Out-of-School Time Coalition, the DC Home Visiting Council and the Youth Economic Justice and Housing Coalition.
