In this paper, Jim Keddy analyzes the recent effort by Sac Kids First to create a children’s fund in the city budget of Sacramento. On March 3rd, 2020, 54% of Sacramento voters rejected Measure G, a policy which would have created a stable funding source for youth services in the city of Sacramento. A Tale of Two Cities looks at the various dynamics in the vote turnout and in the campaign which reveal a stark contrast in priorities between voters in the more affluent neighborhoods and voters in lower-income, neighborhoods of color.
Here is a list of Youth Forward’s publications used to bring awareness to and advance our work. Publications include papers, op-eds, reports, policy proposals, and letters of recommendations.
