Children's Defense Fund

Dear John, 

 

President Biden made clear in his proposed budget that his administration will continue to focus on strengthening the national economy so all Americans can prosper. 

 

But there is still much to do. 

 

Now more than ever, young people and their families rely on continued support from their elected representatives. Pandemic-era relief policies like SNAP emergency allotments and Universal Free Meals, which made historic gains against poverty, have already expired or are set to expire this spring. 

 

We must urge members of Congress to set aside their partisanship and keep their commitments to the next generation and our most marginalized communities. Only with a unified voice can we ensure our federal budget reflects and meets the needs of America's children, youth, and families. 

 

Read our full statement in response to President Biden’s proposed budget and how it impacts the lives of our nation’s children and youth. 

Rev. Dr. Starsky Wilson

For our children,

 

Rev. Dr. Starsky Wilson
President and CEO
