John,

Critical gains for children have been made with the passage of the American Rescue Plan―the pandemic stimulus bill signed into law by President Biden in March. That's great news. But Congress needs to pass legislation to make ongoing investments and shrink the chronic inequality gaps in our country.

Join CHN next Thursday, June 10th at 3:30 p.m. ET for a special webinar featuring experts around the country who will detail the need for child care, the expanded Child Tax Credit, investments in education, and services for youth. You will also learn what you can do to help make these improvements a reality. Click here to RSVP>>

We’ll hear from Rev. Dr. Starsky Wilson, President and CEO of the Children’s Defense Fund, about the health and economic crises triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic and how they have exacerbated long-standing problems for children and their families.

CHN Executive Director, Deborah Weinstein, will explain what legislation is before Congress and detail actions we can take to move these critical pieces of legislation forward. The webinar is a collaborative effort with the Partnership for America’s Children, and our moderator, Deborah Stein, is the Partnership’s Network Director.

Save the date (June 10th), and take a moment to RSVP now! During the webinar, a panel of experts will also take your questions.

Even if you can’t attend, sign up to receive a recording of the webinar and other resources. (This webinar will be captioned.)

I hope you can join us one week from today―Thursday, June 10th at 3:30 p.m ET―for this important webinar. If you aren't able to join us for the webinar, consider chipping in $5 or more today to fight for a future that includes all of us, not just the wealthy few.

Thank you for all you have done, and continue to do, to fight to protect our health and economic security.

Thank you,
