John,

Mark is right: Together, we have the chance to make 2021 the year that our country finally prioritizes children. I am resending his note from Sunday and reiterating his ask: please commit to a monthly donation of $20.21 to sustain our critical fight to make sure every child can thrive.

Our country has made unfulfilled promises to our children. Let’s ensure 2021 is the year we make good on those promises.

Thank you again,

Jennifer Gaillard

Development Marketing Director

John,

Despite the new calendar on the wall, too many families across the country are still struggling with the hardships that defined 2020. The continued threat of COVID-19 exposure and unequal access to health care. An economic downturn that’s made it tough to pay rent and keep food on the table. The ongoing frustrations and stress of balancing work, child care, and virtual learning. On top of all this, our children are watching as the destructive forces of racism and violence threaten the very foundations of our democracy.

That’s why we’re fighting harder than ever to knock down these barriers and ensure all of our children have what they need to thrive.

Would you consider joining us in being vigilant for children in 2021? You are an important partner in this work. When you commit to a monthly gift of $20.21, you can make 2021 a year of incredible progress for our nation’s children.

Join us in the fight for a 2021 that is truly a new beginning for America’s kids.

P.S. Monthly donors keep us strong and ensure our work can continue 24/7. Become a monthly donor today with your first gift of $20.21 to start the year off strong.
