 The devastating impacts of Donald Trump’s cuts are already hitting home:
Listen, Sharice Davids understands that early childhood education programs like Head Start are invaluable to thousands of children in Kansas and across the country. They have a proven track record of improving high school graduation rates and strengthening children’s overall development. But young kids aren’t the only beneficiaries of these programs. Across the country, hundreds of thousands of parents rely on Head Start as well for necessary child care, allowing them to hold an in-person job and earn a living to support their children. As a first-generation college student, Sharice knows firsthand the immense value of a good education. That’s why she’s working day and night to strengthen public schools, invest in our children’s future, and push back against Trump’s senseless attacks on Head Start.
Here in Kansas and across the country, Head Start programs are already struggling under the National GOP’s watch. But if Donald Trump succeeds in his plan to permanently cease funding for early childhood education, over 800,000 children would suffer the consequences. Our government should be judged by the way it treats its children. And right now, it’s clear that Donald Trump and National Republicans are willing to betray our kids’ future — all for yet another billionaire tax cut. Our children’s future depends on what we do right now, so thank you for taking action. Team Sharice |
