The government shutdown has dragged on for four long weeks – and families are paying the price.
If Congress doesn't act soon, 140 Head Start programs across 41 states won't receive federal funding.
Many could be forced to close their doors, taking education, nutrition and stability away from up to 65,000 kids – and leaving their parents without child care.
Working families can't afford to lose Head Start. Tell Congress to end the shutdown!
Families are paying the price for the ongoing government shutdown. With no end in sight, the support kids rely on is now at risk.
If Congress doesn't act by November 1, 140 Head Start programs across 41 states won't receive their federal funding. Many could be forced to close their doors – taking education, nutrition and stability away from up to 65,000 young children.
For hardworking families who already feel financial strain, child care isn't optional. Head Start helps parents bring home a paycheck, keeps our economy moving and gives kids the strong start they deserve.
We can't allow political gridlock to hurt our youngest learners. Please, end the shutdown and protect Head Start programs that thousands of families rely on.
