"An entire generation of kids--kids like me--grew up while we waited for answers. With a baby born into poverty every minute, we can't wait any longer."
- Israel Glenn, 18
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
It has been 20 years since there was a question about how to address child poverty in a presidential debate. That's an entire generation of children growing up and facing hunger, homelessness, and instability with no answers from our leaders. And 20 years later, 1 in 6 kids is still living in poverty in this country.
Israel Glenn is one of those kids. A recent high school graduate and 2019 CDF Beat the Odds® program honoree from Minnesota, Israel believes this is simply unacceptable.
STAND WITH ISRAEL. SIGN THE PETITION: [link removed]
Children like Israel have been ignored long enough. They deserve to know how candidates seeking the White House will fight for them. Israel is calling for a question in the presidential debates about child poverty, and we're standing with him.
Will you join us in demanding a question in the presidential debates?
