More than 800 PICO youth, parents, and clergy from around the state converged on the State Capitol on June 23 to call on legislators and Governor Schwarzenegger to make children and youth a priority in the state budget. PICO believes that children have the right to a quality education, access to affordable medical care and community supports that provide them opportunity to succeed.
