Urge President Obama to Transform the Lives of Mothers and Children
This year presents a historic opportunity for us to create lasting change for generations to come. 2015 marks the deadline to reach the Millennium Development Goals set in 2000 and an opportunity to create a new set of sustainable development goals for the next 15 years. Together, we can create a clear pathway to a better future for all people and our planet.
This is a key moment. For the first time, we can envision a future in which no child or mother will die from preventable causes. We can foresee a future where every child has nutritious food and clean water. As world leaders prepare this new global agreement, we need President Obama to make maternal and child survival and other critical issues central to the new sustainable development goals. Send a message to President Obama today!
Dear President Obama,
This year presents a potential turning point for the future of the most disadvantaged children in the United States and around the globe. With the development of a new post-2015 framework, we have an opportunity to make lasting change for the world's children and families.
As you prepare for the United Nations General Assembly meeting in September, we urge you to make maternal and child survival a top priority. Please continue to negotiate strongly in favor of goals and targets on child and maternal well-being, including ending preventable maternal and child deaths, reducing stunting, and improving nutrition, quality education and learning, sanitation, and protection from violence. We hope you will join other global leaders to work to improve the well-being for the most disadvantaged families first and not last.

Sincerely,
