Dear John, Today, too many young children will lose out on the opportunity to get a strong start in life without access to high-quality early learning. Tonight, too many kids will be tucked into bed with empty bellies. John, their opportunities to reach for a brighter tomorrow are slipping away before our eyes. Our nation is in desperate need of a sweeping investment in child care, early education, and child nutrition programs. Show your support for the Build Back Better Act, America’s best chance to improve the lives of our children in a generation. This sweeping plan will expand and modernize child nutrition initiatives, increase access to high-quality child care and early learning programs and give kids from low-income families the resources they need to realize their dreams and reach their full potential. The widespread impact that this legislation could have on millions of families is unprecedented. If the Build Back Better Act passes, the U.S. will be a place where every three- and four-year-old can attend universal preschool, all working parents can secure safe, reliable, high-quality child care at low cost and countless more children in high-poverty communities can access nutritious food year-round. Thanks to increased child care subsidies and a permanent extension of the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit, the average family will save thousands of dollars annually – and millions of parents will finally be able to return to work. Send a message to Congress: pass the Build Back Better Act– because our nation is only as strong as our children are. Thank you for being a voice for kids, |
