Save the Children Action Network is the political voice for kids. 

The U.S. runs essentials programs that keep children healthy, happy and safe – both at home and abroad. With next year’s funding on the line, will you push Congress to prioritize kids? 

John,

When Congress returns from recess, all eyes will be on the 2025 spending bills. 

They’ll negotiate funding for disaster recovery, early learning support, refugee assistance and so much more. These decisions will impact real children – like 7-year-old Liya* and 17-year-old Olha*, pictured above with their fluffy best friend.  

After war broke out in Ukraine, their family faced an unbearable choice: Leave the girls’ beloved dog, Sherry, behind or hunker down at home. So, they rationed the food in their cabinets until rescue came.  

These spending bills are incredibly important, John. Before you read on, please sign our petition to protect children in crisis. 

When disaster strikes, millions depend on our nation’s support – so these programs need every bit of available funding.  

John, think about Liya and Olha. Since their mother fell sick and stopped working, they can’t afford food on top of rent. The girls still rely on aid, even after reaching safety.  

For the sake of struggling families – worldwide and here at home – tell Congress to invest in programs that help children thrive!

Thanks for being a voice for kids,

Christy Gleason
