Children are still at risk and needs remain immense. Tell Congress: Act now to prevent more suffering.
In times of crisis, humanitarian aid helps communities rebuild. The more our nation invests in these lifesaving programs, the more struggling families we can support. Tell Congress to fund humanitarian aid and protect kids’ futures!
As the cost of living continues to rise, families can’t afford essentials like groceries and child care. Millions are struggling just to get by – and they need our nation’s support. Please, tell Congress: We must fund critical child programs in next year’s budget.
