Tell Congress to Prioritize the Children in 2021
Congress is back in session and setting priorities for the year to come. Let them know they need to focus on ensuring a bright future for children!
As the political voice for kids, we’re engaging communities and policymakers across the country
to ensure children have a healthy and strong start in life.
By advocating for high-quality early childhood education and ending preventable child and maternal deaths,
our advocates are making a lasting impact in the lives of children around the world.

SCAN commissioned a bipartisan polling team to conduct survey research among general election voters in five states to gauge their opinions about early childhood education and early intervention policies.
In addition to general election voters, SCAN conducted interviews among both Democratic and Republican primary voters. The results showed that legislators and candidates looking for issues with broad appeal that can meaningfully improve the lives of their constituents should invest in our youngest learners and early intervention programs.
