Our Economy and Our Children Can’t Wait

Join the National Day of Action on January 20

Protect Promised Investment in Children

Child care and Head Start are essential to families, small businesses, and our economy — yet approved federal funding for these programs has been delayed and threatened.

Congress already authorized these funds. Providers have already delivered care. Families are counting on these services. And still, child care programs and Head Start providers across Kansas and Missouri are being left in limbo.

Thanks to a court order, some funds have been temporarily released, but temporary fixes are not enough. We need permanent, stable funding so families, providers, and communities can plan for the future with confidence.

On January 20, advocates across the country are raising their voices together. We need yours.

Using our simple tool, you can contact your U.S. Senators and Representative in just minutes and tell them to protect child care and Head Start funding.
