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

Nearly half a billion children are growing up in conflict zones. We can’t let lawmakers ignore their suffering, John. Sign our petition today.

John, EVERY war is a war against children. That belief inspired Eglantyne Jebb to found our sister organization, Save the Children, over 100 years ago.  

Like you and me, Eglantyne envisioned a future where no child knows the horrors of conflict.

One where violence never forced Junior’s* family to flee the Democratic Republic of Congo.  

At just 12 years old, he couldn’t bear to trade his home, school and friends for life in a refugee camp. Instead, Junior stayed behind with his uncle – and was eventually forced to join an armed group. 

Thrust onto the frontlines, a now 17-year-old Junior says, “I couldn’t handle the atrocities. Luckily, I made it out alive.”  

Not every child gets a second chance, John. As conflicts spiral around the globe, join me in defending kids’ rights! 

Next month, the U.S. will meet with other world leaders to discuss ending violence against children. Our powerful government plays a critical role in protecting kids’ futures – and we haven’t been living up to it.  

This conversation could spur global action and ultimately save lives. So please, tell Congress you care about keeping kids safe. 

Thanks for speaking up, 

Christy Gleason
