Save the Children Action Network is the political voice for kids.
John –
To make a difference, we must confront the truth: at least 468 million children are living in war zones today.
As I write this, they’re facing unthinkable traumas: Injury, death, abduction, sexual violence and even recruitment by armed groups. All while being denied lifesaving aid.
I refuse to stay silent, John. Please, join me in telling Congress to step up and help save children’s lives. [[link removed]]

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

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! [[link removed]]

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. [[link removed]]
Thanks for speaking up,
