Tell Congress to Protect Head Start

Head Start has been transforming the lives of children and working families for 60 years. Now, more than ever, we need your help to protect its future.

With the recent release of the White House’s proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2026, critical early learning programs are once again at risk. While it does not call for eliminating Head Start outright, the sweeping $160 billion in proposed cuts to non-defense discretionary funding pose a serious threat to essential health, education, and family support services.

Just a few clicks can make a huge impact on the futures of children in our community. Use our simple tool to urge your representatives to prioritize funding for Head Start, and protect the programs that support working families across the country.
