Everyone likes the idea of supporting children in our governmental policies, but we need to turn the idea--and the strong public compassion for children--into political action.  Why?  Young people and struggling families don't have a lobby, and the issues affecting them typically are pushed aside by more powerful and vocal interests. 

Here's what you can do:

1. Join our advocacy network

2. Tell-a-friend about Every Child Matters

3. Get involved in your area

4. Order advocacy materials 

5. Tell your elected officials to support children
