NACC urged Congress to reduce child povertystrengthen families, make the children’s health insurance program permanent, fund programs that prevent delinquency, and feed children and families through the WIC program. NACC also joined coalitions that urged Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra to continue supporting the Children’s Interagency Coordinating Council, and responded to proposed HHS rulemaking to ensure non-discriminations protections for LGBTQI+ people.
