For 60 years, Head Start has helped 750K+ kids thrive in school & in life. We know it works. Kids who participate in Head Start are more likely to graduate, have higher earnings and are less likely to live in poverty. Tell Congress: Invest in #HeadStart! bit.ly/3TSRunW
Congress just voted to cut nearly $8 billion in foreign aid, putting life-saving programs for kids at risk. This decision goes against bipartisan commitments and puts the world’s most vulnerable children at risk. Read our statement. 👉 bit.ly/4f5IVA0

Everywhere I visit in Virginia, I meet parents who are worried about the cost of childcare — or worried about finding a childcare provider to begin with. As a mom, this is personal for me. That’s why I’ll be rolling out a plan to tackle Virginia’s childcare crisis:
The White House wants to take back billions in approved foreign aid. If Congress says yes by this Friday, kids in crisis will lose food, health care & hope. It’s a death sentence for the world’s most vulnerable. Tell your Senators: Reject this! bit.ly/3IuoQXL
In March, Congress passed bipartisan aid for kids in crisis. Now, the White House wants to take it back. If lawmakers don’t reject this by Friday, children will pay the price. Humanitarian aid saves lives. Don’t reverse it. Take action 👉 bit.ly/4lwCsQU

Critical federal funds for afterschool & summer programs are being withheld — despite bipartisan approval. Thousands of kids, especially in rural & low-income communities, are at risk of losing safe, supportive learning spaces. Our statement. 👇 bit.ly/4lIEn4y
The Trump admin is withholding nearly $7B in approved funding — putting summer & afterschool programs at risk. Millions of kids could lose safe spaces to learn. Parents could lose vital support. Tell Congress: Demand @usedgov to release the funds! bit.ly/4kqRE0o
Really enjoyed giving remarks at @SCActionNetwork conference in Richmond. Affordable child care and early childhood education are key to a child’s success and to a family’s quality of life. If we want to make Virginia affordable we have to do more in early education!

The NH legislative session is over. While we secured sustained funding for key programs & a new WIC pilot, the budget still falls short for kids. We’ll keep pushing for bold, bipartisan investments so every NH child gets the strong start they deserve.
42 million Americans rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program to put food on the table. We cannot push more kids into hunger! Here's how you can take action today. 👉bit.ly/4kuq4Qr

Despite a tough budget year, advocates helped protect $78M for Louisiana’s Child Care Assistance Program—preserving vital support for working families and kids. We’re proud to stand with partners like @GeauxFarLA and @Ready_Louisiana fighting to give every child a strong start!
Thank you @RepMikeTurner, @RepNicole, @RepBrianFitz and @MarkAmodeiNV2 for voting NO on the rescissions package. We're grateful for your stand to put kids first.
Families in rural America face unique challenges and access to nutrition shouldn’t be one of them. As Congress finalizes the budget reconciliation package, protecting #SNAP is essential to ensure kids and communities don’t go hungry.
Investing in children isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s a smart, strategic choice for a safer, more secure world. Urge Congress to protect lifesaving support for children today! 👉 bit.ly/3SC1C3V
