John,

Research has shown that one of the most influential factors in shaping a child's academic and behavioral outcomes is high-quality interactions between teachers and students. Unfortunately, due to the cost, millions of children in the United States do not have access to a preschool education.

The impact of early care experiences on a toddler's future cannot be overstated, as 90 percent of their brain development occurs by the time they turn six years old.

It's time for a change. Join us in supporting early childhood education by signing the petition for universal pre-K for all children!

The National Bureau of Economic Research found that preschool enrollment significantly boosts college preparation, high school graduation rates, and decreases disciplinary measures, including juvenile incarceration. Additionally, adults who participated in preschool programs earn considerably more than those who didn't attend preschool.

Universal pre-kindergarten has the potential to be one of the most transformative education programs in the country, yielding long-term benefits for parents, children, and the economy as a whole. Together, we can invest in our children's future and pave the way for a brighter and more equitable society. Add your name now.

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
