Children Now is a California-based nonprofit focused on advancing child well-being through policy and government relations across health, education, early childhood, and child welfare. The organization aims to ensure children reach their potential by promoting accessible health care and child care, high-quality education, mental health services, and equity across institutions. It gathers input from children and families to identify needs, then translates these insights into policy solutions for decision-makers, coordinating broad-based campaigns that unify voices in support of kids to drive policy change and implementation. Based in Oakland, California, the group connects policymakers with on-the-ground perspectives to improve outcomes for California's children. In 2026, it partnered with the California Perinatal Quality Care Collaborative to reach neonatologists, nurses, and other NICU staff across all California NICUs, addressing gaps in perinatal care. The organization operates within the nonprofit sector, spanning health, education, early childhood, and welfare, and seeks to place children's needs at the forefront of policy discussions.
