** Don’t Let Congress Leave Children Behind
------------------------------------------------------------

Dear John,

Congress is preparing to vote on the budget reconciliation bill, and it could happen as soon as today.

This is a critical moment for children and families across the country. If passed, this bill could mean historic investments in child health, education, economic security, and youth justice. But right now, too many lawmakers are wavering, or worse—silent.

Before they head home for Memorial Day weekend, we need them to hear loud and clear: Vote for children by voting NO ([link removed]) for any cuts to basic needs programs young people and their families need to survive.

Will you contact your representative right now?

Every voice matters. Yours could be the push that turns urgency into action.
Act Now ([link removed])

Thank you for standing with us and with every child across this nation.

In solidarity,

Lauren Reliford

Director of Public Policy
