Dear Christopher,
We have what it takes to make America the best place for a child to grow up in the world.
Why would we accept anything less?
The brain of a child is our most precious resource. For 35 years, I have met with doctors, parents, teachers, counselors whose only professional goal is to aid and secure a better future for our children.
What is missing is neither the intention nor ideas, but the scale needed to address the challenges before us.
As president, I will make our nation’s children one of my highest priorities by establishing a U.S. Department of Children and Youth. Click here to sign the petition if you agree.
Here are a few select samples of the initial policy and program focuses:
- Develop and implement a Public Education System that takes a whole-student approach focused on academic, social and emotional learning practices. It’s aimed at preparing students not only for the skills and jobs of the 21st century, but also to help them live vibrant and meaningful lives and make them strong contributors to a thriving democracy.
- Develop and implement an Agriculture and Food System built on supports for whole, healthy foods and eliminating toxins, processed and unhealthy foods.
- Develop and implement a robust Violence and Crime Prevention initiative focused on reducing trauma and despair, through the support of full-scale wraparound home, school and community prevention and intervention services; coordinating with state and local governments, expanding research, and sharing of best practices.
We’ve already gotten 8,193 petition signers, which is incredible.

With gratitude,
Marianne
