In 2022, voters in New Orleans, LA, passed a property tax levy that, along with state matching funds, will provide early childhood education to 2,000 children from low-income households annually. The measure will nearly cut in half the number of infants and toddlers in New Orleans from low-income families without access to quality early care and education. Through community engagement and on-the-ground organizing the YES for NOLA Kids campaign won a 5 millage property tax that will raise $21 million in the first year and will be doubled by the state’s matching fund.
