Urge Washington Lawmakers to Invest in Kids This Legislative Session

1 in 7 children in the U.S. lives in poverty, and millions more are facing life-threatening crises worldwide. To build a brighter future for kids, President Trump and Congress must take bold action during their first 100 days in office.

Washington’s kids deserves the very best, let’s send a strong message to state lawmakers urging them to make investments in child nutrition and quality early childhood education so Washington’s kids can thrive!
