Hi John,
Excitement, anticipation, expectations, uncertainty. There’s no getting around it — fresh starts are complicated. That’s why I always kick off the new year with a wish list. I’m a fan of bold goals and good game plans — especially when it comes to changing children’s futures. It’s just too important to play by ear. So, here’s our vision for 2023: - Affordable, accessible child care and early learning opportunities for families across the nation.
-
A better Farm Bill at this year’s reauthorization — so kids in the U.S. and around the world are nourished and growing.
- A solid mental health support system for children exposed to poverty, conflict and hunger.
- Dignity, safety, unity and compassionate care for families seeking asylum at our southern border.
-
Policies, funding and protection for children living through disaster, displacement, war and crisis — because every child deserves a childhood.
There’s a new Congress in session this year, John. They won’t know our priorities until we spell them out.
Will you make sure lawmakers — old and new — hear us loud and clear? |
