Kids Help Raise Awareness During Primary Debates
 At both the Republican and Democratic Presidential Candidate Debates, ECM held rallies and public events to raise awareness of children's issues with candidates. Hundreds of children and parents rallied with ECM volunteers, and local TV, BET and CNN covered our events. The kids chanting and waving signs were a big draw, and they had lots of fun!
