New: DC Kids Count now online!
Our new DC Kids Count Online gives you the best available District-wide data to measure and track the demographics, impacts of COVID-19, voting and democracy, economic justice, health, safety, and education of the District’s children and youth.
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 Homelessness Advocacy Coalition.
We join with others in DC who are mourning the lives lost during the pandemic.
