March Forth on March 4th
“Families Earning, Children Learning”

March 4th is a nationwide day of action aimed at keeping child care front and center on the congressional agenda. Thousands of advocates are joining together to "March Forth" in support of increased funding for child care, Head Start and child nutrition. This year’s action theme — “Families Earning, Children Learning” — reminds Congress of the importance of these programs for children, parents and our economic recovery.  

Here's why you should take action right now:

Your Members of Congress have started to work on the federal budget, which determines a large chunk of funding for child care and early education programs, along with other programs that matter for women and families. By contacting your members of Congress, we can make sure that Congress knows that the increased investments proposed in the President's budget are necessary.

The more calls they get, the more pressure Congress will feel to support these vital programs. So please help spread the word by forwarding this message to friends, family and colleagues.

Take action today by calling your Members of Congress. 

Thanks for Marching Forth with us!
