April marks Child Abuse Prevention Month, a time to come together as a community to ensure every child can grow up safe, loved, and supported. The pinwheel, our national symbol, reminds us of the joyful and healthy childhood that all children deserve.

For us, families are at the center of everything we do—just like the center of a pinwheel. But for a pinwheel to spin, it needs more than its center; it needs all the pieces working together. Children thrive when families have access to programs, resources, policies, and community support. When awareness is raised, knowledge is shared, and meaningful action is taken, we help build stronger families and safer communities.

By working together, we can set the pinwheel in motion, creating a world where every child can flourish, every family can find support, and every child’s potential can shine. The time to act is now—because when families are supported, the whole community thrives, and children have the chance to grow up happy, healthy, and ready to succeed.

Our offices are closed today in observance of Farmworkers Day — California's newly renamed state holiday honoring the generations of farmworkers whose labor, resilience, and advocacy helped shape the civil rights movement. They put food on all of our tables, and today we honor their sacrifice. We'll be back tomorrow. 🌱
