Your Members of Congress are heading home for the August recess and once again children are left hanging in the balance. In 2013, funding caps on certain non-defense programs were put in place to help reduce the deficit. These caps prevent thousands of young children from accessing critical supports such as child care, Early Head Start and Head Start, Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and many others. Access to these programs is essential to ensure vulnerable children get a strong start in life. During the August recess, call, send an email, Tweet, or Facebook your Members of Congress. Urge them to lift the caps and increase investments in programs that support vulnerable children and families. Sincerely, Cecilia Zalkind |
