John, I’m sure you got the memo:
Congress avoided a government shutdown on Sunday with just hours to spare. That’s great news for kids at the moment... but child programs could still be at risk.
Keep reading for a cheat sheet on what it all means.
*
Congress
passed
a
short-term
bill
to
fund
the
U.S.
government
until
November
17th
*
Yes,
this
prevented
a
shutdown...
but
it’s
a
temporary
solution
*
Lawmakers
still
have
to
finalize
the
2024
budget
—
which
means
funding
for
child
programs
isn’t
locked
in
yet
*
Some
want
to
make
big
cuts
to
funding
for
nutrition
support,
early
learning,
humanitarian
aid
and
asylum
seeker
assistance
John here’s the kicker: If Congress can’t pass final spending bills by November 17th, the government could still shut down... which would interrupt critical support for kids and families.
To stop that from happening, I'll need the help of advocates like you. You’ll hear from me soon!
Thanks for being a voice for kids,
