New York has been a national leader in addressing child poverty in recent years. In 2021, New York State government committed to cutting child poverty rates in half in a decade, with attention to significant racial and ethnic disparities in poverty rates. The Governor and Legislature have made progress toward those goals. However, now, in the second half of 2025, federal actions have brought significant headwinds pushing against New York’s movement to reduce child poverty. New York can —and must — continue to enact policy and budget decisions that prioritize and protect children and families. In this webinar and interactive discussion, we will outline opportunities for state action that prioritize and protect children and families in the face of federal threats.
