For more than four decades, the Children's Defense Fund has fought to make the well-being of all children a national priority. In the America that we are working towards, we invest in our future by investing in our children.
In solidarity,

Children's Defense Fund
P.S. We are fighting for a country where all children grow up at home in happy, stable homes, and receive a quality education in safe, supportive schools. If that is what you want for your children--and for all children--make a gift today: [link removed]
