Highlighting improvements in national child well-being by past presidents and illustrating the challenges facing President Obama and the 111th Congress.
Every Child Matters released this report to coincide with the inauguration of President Barack Obama. Prepared for distribution during the first-ever Children's Inaugural Ball, the pamphlet is meant to remind us all of the central role past presidents have played in improving child well-being. Please take a minute to read this brief, illustrated history of important social legislation.
President Obama has already taken the first steps towards improving child well-being by submitting a kid-friendly first budget. For more information on what his new budget means for our children, click here.
We need your help to urge Congress to support the child-friendly principles in President Obama's budget. Please sign the petition calling upon Congress to follow and build upon the President's lead in crafting its Budget Resolution, recognizing that there is no time to waste in meeting the long-deferred health, education and social needs of the nation's children. »Sign the petition today.
