The Senate Resolution commends the Geaux Far Louisiana Coalition, which was established in 2021 to advocate for the needs of children in Louisiana from prenatal to age five. The coalition consists of thirty-six individuals from various sectors and focuses on creating a unified early childhood system. They have identified five key goals to ensure families have access to high-quality early child development, health, and educational services. By collaborating with local organizations, Geaux Far Louisiana aims to engage parents, educators, policymakers, and community leaders to shape policies and improve outcomes for young learners across the state.
In recognition of their efforts, the resolution designates Tuesday, April 15, 2025, as Geaux Far Day at the Louisiana State Capitol. This day is intended to honor the coalition's work and encourage individuals to become "Champions for Children" by advocating for legislative policies that support the health and well-being of young children and their families in Louisiana. A copy of the resolution will be transmitted to the Geaux Far Louisiana Coalition to acknowledge their contributions.
