Strong Families, Strong Communities: Using New PN 3 Messaging Research to Pass Public Policy

Strong Families, Strong Communities: Using New PN 3 Messaging Research to Pass Public Policy

May 07, 2026

State advocates know the challenge – most lawmakers agree the earliest years of life matter – but that agreement doesn’t always translate into votes, funding, or policy wins. In a tough political and fiscal environment, how we talk about prenatal‑to‑three (PN‑3) issues can determine whether good ideas stall or move forward.

In this webinar, the National Collaborative for Infants & Toddlers will share new, research‑tested messaging insights designed specifically to support state‑level advocacy. Drawing on voter research and interviews with policymakers across party lines, this session will focus on how to frame policy issues that impact infants, toddlers and their families in ways that build trust, reduce resistance, and increase support among legislators and key influencers.

Join us to learn:

  • The core narrative that resonates across political perspectives
  • How to choose the right message frame for different state audiences
  • What common messaging mistakes can undermine support – and what works better
  • How to pair proven national messages with local stories and policy realities

This session is ideal for advocates working to advance practical, winnable PN‑3 policies and strengthen relationships with decision‑makers.
