Introduction
In addition to continuing our campaign in the early caucus and primary states of Iowa and New Hampshire, we will raise children’s issues across the country with our exhibition of children’s photos and former U.S. Presidents’ banners, both of which call attention to the plight of children. For more information on the tour, click here.
ECM also will continue to monitor federal budget activities regarding children and families and provide information on where the candidates stand on children’s issues.
In the summer we will stage events to attract attention to these issues during the GOP convention in Tampa and the Democratic convention in Charlotte. In the fall, we’ll press nominees to address children’s issues during the debates, and in late fall, we’ll conduct extensive mobilizing and get-out-the-vote initiatives.

Dear Presidential Candidate,
Kids are our future. We need to invest in, not cut the programs that benefit America’s children and families. With 16 million children living in poverty, over 7 million without health insurance, over 3 million abused and neglected, and additional millions without early learning and after-school opportunities, we must address their needs now. Please include children and their needs on your campaign platform.
