We're giving 400 diapers to new California families when they leave the hospital. And we're rolling out the program to those who need them the most first.  As if the stresses of having a child weren't enough -- the cost of diapers has gone up 45% since the pandemic. Families skip meals to pay for diapers.  We have rebuilt how government can support families and kids through increased paid leave, universal pre-k, child care, free school meals, student savings accounts and, now, by providing families with an essential first need.
