Hi John,

Progress starts with voices like yours. They’re what inspire leaders to do the right thing.

That’s why we’re launching the Have a Heart campaign — an annual movement to harness your passion as a force for change.

This coming Valentine’s season, our message is simple: In a truly equitable nation, every family has access to high-quality affordable child care.

Believe it or not, a year’s worth of child care can cost more than $10,000 per child in the U.S. That’s unacceptable, John — and Congress needs to hear it. [[link removed]]

Rising costs and dwindling classrooms are locking children out of child care. That means millions are missing out on early learning opportunities — the foundation for a brighter future.

Without support, kids could be up to 18 months behind their friends by the time they start kindergarten.

John, early education is supposed to be a ladder out of poverty. But first, families have to reach it.

Have a minute to make a difference? Kick off our campaign with a message to Congress: have a heart for kids! [[link removed]]
