Translate & Publish

Parent concerns become a clearer, evidence-grounded policy agenda. We continue annual parent polling, launch a biannual national voter survey, and publish the first Same Sky Index — a public scorecard measuring whether children's needs are being met and whether policy is moving in the direction families demand.

The goal
Early 2028
A Clear Agenda

A durable, publicly accountable national policy agenda for children — grounded in two years of family voice, voter data, and evidence. Five issues. Clear congressional and administrative recommendations. This is not a report that sits on a shelf.

"A rigorous, public, cross-partisan account of what children need, whether systems are delivering it, and who is responsible for the gap."

Sustained infrastructure
2028 & Beyond
Permanent Accountability

Same Sky becomes a permanent part of the national policy landscape for children. The measurement system runs continuously, independent of who holds office.

Annual Parent Survey
What families say they need, every year, without fail.
Biannual Voter Poll
Public support for children's priorities, tracked twice yearly.
Same Sky Index
Annual public scorecard. Does not reset between administrations.
Federal Policy Tracking
Every action — or failure to act — documented across all issue areas.

The infrastructure is in place. The survey is live.

We need partners to take the work to scale.
