We often look to young people as visions of hope, leaders of the future, and beacons of change – and all of these things are true. However, the spread of COVID-19 is a public health emergency threatening millions of people everywhere, and it is felt especially hard by young people. If we rely on the perceived resilience of young people to get them through this pandemic, without providing them with the support they need to thrive, we will let them down. This is why we are urging Congress to provide funding and resources in the next COVID-19 stimulus packages to help our nation's young people as they navigate this crisis. 

Today, alongside Alliance for Educational Justice, we sent a letter to Congress urging them to provide funding and resources in the next COVID-19 stimulus packages to help our nation's young people as they navigate this crisis.
