These are the programs that keep kids safe, help them grow, and give working parents peace of mind. Without this funding, thousands of local programs are at risk of closing—including programs that serve communities like yours. Add your name and send a message to Congress urging them to protect this critical funding. Your message will be delivered directly to your elected officials.
