Tell Your Members of Congress
to Invest in Every Child
Write to Congress - For Our Children
We must demand that our leaders commit to helping children as a condition of our vote.
Whether Members of Congress are liberal, conservative or moderate; Democrat, Republican or Independent, children need all of them to vote, lobby, speak for and protect them. We must listen carefully to what our Members of Congress say they will do for children and families and then hold them accountable for their votes.
