John,
Amidst everything going on regarding the federal funding freeze, we wanted to make sure you saw this important update:
House Republicans are setting the groundwork to dismantle the Head Start program.
The Republican-led Education Committee released a new report attacking the Head Start Program, writing, “it may be time to make some cuts.”
This is unacceptable. As a proud alum of the Head Start program and a founding member of the Head Start Caucus, Jahana knows the importance of the program firsthand.
Head Start is a wise, cost-effective investment in local communities that leads to greater prosperity for future generations. Research has repeatedly shown that high-quality early childhood education programs can help create advantages that last a lifetime.
And not only is Head Start a place for children to get an education, but it is also an essential resource to help parents access housing, healthcare, and community resources.
We cannot let attacks against the Head Start program succeed. Add your name if you agree with Jahana: We must protect and invest in childcare and early education programs >>
Thank you for your support,
Team Hayes
