Support the American Families Plan! Our Kids Deserve Every Opportunity To Succeed

Working parents have long faced a struggle finding high quality care and learning programs before their kids start school at age 5. In most states, these programs can cost more than in-state college tuition! And across the country, there aren't nearly enough slots in programs to meet the need.

This problem is especially difficult for Black, Latino, indigenous kids and children living in rural America. Their parents often need to drop out of the workforce to care for them, exacerbating issues of poverty. Many end up starting school far behind their peers and never catch up.

The American Families Plan will help millions of kids get a strong start in life by providing universal pre-kindergarten and expanding access to high-quality, affordable child care programs.

This could truly revolutionize the opportunities we provide future generations of kids growing up in American, but it's going to face a lot of resistance. We've never been closer to finding a solution to this problem but we still have a long way to go.

Send a message to your members of Congress — support the American Families Plan to help ensure all kids in the U.S. can get a strong start in life!
Subject: The American Families Plan would revolutionize the opportunities we provide for kids

Working parents in our country have long faced a struggle finding high quality care and learning programs before their kids start school at age 5. In many states, these programs can cost more than in-state college tuition! In too many other areas, there aren't nearly enough slots in programs to meet the need. This problem is especially difficult for Black, Latino, indigenous kids and children living in rural America. Their parents often need to drop out of the workforce to care for them, exacerbating issues of poverty. Many end up starting school far behind their peers and never catch up.

The American Families Plan introduced by President Biden provides an opportunity for us to transform the opportunities we give kids in the United States to get a strong start in life, while also boosting the economy by allowing millions of parents — especially women — to remain or re-enter the workforce knowing their kids will be cared for in high-quality early learning programs they can afford.

Universal pre-K and expanded high-quality child care will also ensure that future generations of children are better prepared to succeed in school and employment. Studies have shown that investments in early learning more than pay for themselves through increased graduation rates, reduced juvenile and adult incarceration rates and higher lifetime economic achievement.

Our children, their parents and our country deserve this opportunity for them to get the strongest start in life possible. I urge you to support the American Families Plan.

Thank you,
