Will You Raise Your Voice for Children?

Nearly 12 million children live in poverty in America. They cannot vote, which makes it far too easy for our elected officials to ignore their reality. But you can help change that.

We need champions like you to have real, difficult conversations about the millions of children struggling with poverty, hunger, and homelessness in America. Tell us about the conversations you’re having now and how we can help you do more to build the movement to end child poverty now.

Yes, I would like to receive e-mail from Children's Defense Fund including advocacy alerts and event information.
