I know what effective advocacy looks like, because I've seen it up close. Before I came to the Children's Defense Fund to serve as the Director of Poverty Policy, I worked on Capitol Hill for the better part of a decade helping craft and advance legislation to help families in need.
That's how I know the immense impact that the Children's Defense Fund's advocacy has on shaping decisions that are made in Congress. Our nation's leaders rely on groups like CDF to understand how policy changes will affect children. That's why the advocacy work supported by the Children in Crisis Fund is so critical right now.
As this crisis continues, we'll be working closely with leaders in Congress and the administration to lift up the unique needs of children and meet them with urgency. We're making sure children living in poverty, children of color, children in foster care, and other children who are struggling are not left out of the national response to this pandemic. Will you join us? [link removed]
I came to work at the Children's Defense Fund because I wanted to be on the frontlines of the fight against child poverty. I didn't know that I would be joining this incredible team in the midst of a pandemic. But this crisis only magnifies the importance of CDF's work to stand up for children--and the importance of your support.
I know the work the Children's Defense Fund is doing right now is making a difference, because I've seen it from the other side. Your gift to the Children in Crisis Fund today makes sure that we can keep fighting for kids at this moment when it matters most. Thank you for standing with us.
In appreciation,
Emma Mehrabi
Director of Poverty Policy
