URGENT: Tell the Trump administration that children don’t belong in jail. Take Action
The voters in Washington state overwhelmingly support investing in our kids, and especially early education.
When the Seattle City Council began exploring a tax on sweetened beverages in early 2017, we immediately
mobilized a successful campaign to ensure that resulting revenue would support early learning programs.
We also mobilized our online supporters to support expanded funding for the Washington Early Childhood
Education and Assistance Program and Working Connections Child Care subsidies, which will help more
families keep or get access to high-quality early learning programs.
We’re committed to ensuring all children succeed in school and life.
Save the Children Action Network (SCAN) is supporting Seattle, WA’s Proposition, the Families, Education, Preschool and Promise Levy! Prop 1 will expand the successful Seattle Preschool Program by 1,000 new slots annually, providing high-quality preschool to kids at no or low cost.
No matter what happens on Election Day, we want the next Congress to make investing in high-quality early childhood education a priority. Sign the petition to tell the next Congress that early education programs transform children’s lives.
Seattle voters can make a game-changing choice for education in Seattle by voting yes on Proposition 1, the Families, Education, Preschool and Promise Levy.
Save the Children Action Network (SCAN) announced today that it has contributed an additional $50,000 to the campaign advocating for passage of Proposition 1, which would increase funding for preschool and other educational programs in the city.
Save the Children Action Network (SCAN) recognized Washington State Representative Tana Senn and Seattle City Councilmembers Rob Johnson and Lorena González with the Washington State Champion for Children Award. This is the first time that SCAN has given the award in Washington State.
