Advocacy is a natural extension of the PEPS mission to support and connect parents. While we are not an advocacy-first organization, we recognize the responsibility to use our collective voice to support families.
PEPS shows up for families by advocating for policies that provide stability across our state, helping ensure all parents have the support they need to thrive.
PEPS hasn’t always engaged in advocacy. But as our commitment to equity deepened, we recognized that supporting parents also means addressing the systems that shape their experiences.
Grounded in our values, we choose to use the strength of our community to advocate for a more equitable society, one that better supports all parents and families.

While our specific legislative focus shifts each session, a consistent set of issues rises to the top because parents keep telling us they matter. Here are the core areas where PEPS adds its voice.
I’m excited by the idea of thousands of PEPS families banding together to make daily life easier for all families in our state. PEPS families know the power of gathering in community, and we know that caregivers and children deserve more support. Structural change is an important piece of the puzzle.
