Since 1944, Citizens’ Committee for Children of New York, Inc. (CCC) has convened, informed and mobilized New Yorkers to make the city a better place for children. CCC’s approach to child advocacy is fact-based and combines the best features of public policy research with a tradition of citizen activism. Our focus is on identifying the causes and effects of vulnerability and disadvantage, recommending solutions to the challenges children and families face, and working together to make public policies, budgets and programs more responsive to the needs of children.

CCC’s ability to tell honest, data-driven stories about people, policies, programs, and budgets has become more essential than ever. This year we expanded our Keeping Track database to offer users the ability to illustrate where risks to child well-being concentrate and whether needed infrastructure, supports and services exist in communities. We engaged in participa-tory research to bring the voice of community members and direct service providers to our data analysis and to inform local policy solutions and budgetary priorities. We leveraged social media, online advocacy platforms and call-in campaigns to disseminate new data reports and to engage and mobilize New Yorkers to raise their voices on behalf of New York’s children at the local, state and federal level.

We played a leadership role in diverse coalitions that helped pave the way for historic victories for New York’s young people, including helping to ensure passage of state legislation to raise the age of criminal responsibility, secure needed local resources to bring free universal lunch to all public school students, and make the case for a new labor contract providing early childhood educators with long overdue salary increases.

We also helped to restore summer program-ming for middle school youth, informed the passage of a comprehensive package of legis-lative reforms of our city’s foster care system as well as legislation to strengthen the state’s Kinship Guardianship program, and we co-led the Family Homelessness Task Force to draw attention to the critical needs of children and families who are homeless.

This progress and more was made possible because of the commitment of CCC’s Board and Advocacy Council members, Community Leadership Course participants, YouthAction members, and CCC’s expert staff. It was also a reflection of our strong relationships with non-profit and philanthropic partners. Thanks to the support of so many New Yorkers, CCC continues to advance its mission to ensure that every child is healthy, housed, educated, and safe.

Thank you,

2016–2017 Annual Report ★ 3

On April 10, 2017 Governor Cuomo signed into law legislation that raises the age of criminal responsibility to 18 years of age. This long-fought victory will dramatically improve the lives and outcomes for thousands of youth, and CCC is thankful to have played a leadership role in the Raise the Age NY (RTA-NY) campaign.

CCC provided content and policy expertise to the RTA-NY campaign—we analyzed bills and budgetary proposals, summarized research, and disseminated key facts and talking points to a broad base of statewide stakeholders. CCC lever-aged government relations support for meetings in district and in Albany and coordinated large scale advocacy days, ensuring a constant stream of RTA supporters met with the Governor’s staff and Assembly and Senate legislative offices.

We retained public relations support on the cam-paign’s behalf and drew on social media experts

to help the campaign achieve significant media attention and social media visibility through-out the state and in Albany. We also mobilized thousands of New Yorkers through online letter writing tools, call-in campaigns, and by provid-ing support for buses and train fare needed to help faith leaders, youth, staff of direct service organizations, legal service providers, and New Yorkers at large travel to Albany and make their voices heard.

Ultimately, the efforts of the RTA-NY campaign were successful because of the size, diversity and unwavering commitment of the campaign’s statewide membership. We relied on the facts and brought forward the voices of impacted youth and families. Together, we created the public will necessary to raise the age with a constant drumbeat of attention through media, social media, calls, letters, and meetings with elected officials.

CCC’s program year began with several key vic-tories, including achievement of a new local labor contract for early education staff, passage of a legislative package to improve the city’s fos-ter care system, and enactment of a state law enabling families to split their state tax refund and direct a portion to college savings pro-grams. Like the Raise the Age-NY success, these long-fought efforts were accomplished with leadership from CCC and our proven approach to using research, community education and government relations to advance critical issues on behalf of children and families.

CCC leveraged the momentum of these early victories to continue to educate and mobilize New Yorkers on behalf of New York’s children and families. We achieved more than 80 media hits on an exceptionally wide range of issues, expanded our social media reach to 10,000 fol-lowers on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and engaged the 15,000 members of CCC’s e-action network in online letter-writing campaigns or call-in days. We repeatedly leveraged these vehi-cles to create a groundswell of support for CCC’s state, local and federal priorities.

We commissioned a poll documenting New Yorkers’ support for increased investments in year-round early childhood education and after-school services even when taxes might be raised; co-led the Family Homelessness Task Force identifying preventive, in-shelter and post-shelter recommendations needed to improve child and family well-being; and we hosted screenings of the documentary, “They Call us Monsters,” to raise awareness of the repercussions of treating children as adults in the justice system.

We testified on a wide range of issues at the city and state level and worked in collaboration with diverse coalitions to advance key priorities on behalf of New York’s children and families.

At the state level, our advocacy helped to secure passage of state legislation that strengthens kin-ship guardianship, offset budget reductions, and increase investments in children’s mental health services. Notably our local advocacy resulted in the restoration of funds for summer programs for middle school students and the expansion of universal free lunch to all public school students.

CCC’s adult and youth volunteers played an instrumental role in these achievements—rais-ing their voices at press conferences, rallies, and in meetings with government officials at City Hall and in Albany, as well as by bringing Keeping Track data resources to community boards across the city. Thirty adult volunteers received child advocacy training through CCC’s ten-week Community Leadership Course (CLC), 49 high school students participated in our YouthAction Community Leadership Course (YCLC), 25 YCLC alumni engaged in youth-led advocacy, and four YCLC alumni functioned as Peer Trainers reaching 505 youth in after-school programs across the city.

This past year CCC expanded our data team, produced cutting edge publications and anal-ysis, and created new online data visualization features to better equip CCC and our colleagues in direct service, philanthropy, elected leaders, and New Yorkers at large with the facts needed to inform program development and budgetary and policy advocacy.

CCC’s Community Risk Ranking painted a picture of where risks to child well-being con-centrate across the 59 community districts and drew attention to persistent racial and ethnic disparities. From Strengths to Solutions: An Asset- Based Approach to Meeting Community Needs in Brownsville, Brooklyn, analyzed and collected data that identified risk factors that function as barriers to well-being, examined services and infrastructure, and developed community-in-formed solutions to address the unique needs of children and families in Brownsville.

Building on these research efforts, hundreds of new indicators were added to the Keeping

Track Online database and new features have been created to allow users to illustrate where risks concentrate across the city’s 59 commu-nity districts and to identify what infrastructure, resources, and services are present at the com-munity level. The data team also produced numerous blogs, infographics, and reports on critical issues such as new census data, family homelessness, school lunch eligibility, and race/ ethic disparities to inform our advocacy.

CCC’s research and data resources helped inform Bronx anti-poverty initiatives, local early childhood learning collaboratives, state and city Medicaid reform discussions, and the city’s Growing Up NYC initiative and district public health profiles. In addition, CCC’s Community Risk Ranking served as the foundation for dis-cussions with government, corporation, and foundation partners at the local, national and international level about how to measure risks to child well-being and illustrate social determi-nants for health.

CCC’s founders believed that advocacy could only be as effective as the research behind it. Central to our fact-based advocacy is Keeping Track of New York City’s Children, the most comprehensive municipal database on child well-being in the country.
