Ask Democratic Members to sign these Appropriations letters

RIGHT NOW, Congress is making decisions on funding for child care and early learning programs nationwide. 

These programs include:

• Head Start and Early Head Start
• Child Care Development Block Grant (CCDBG)
• Preschool Development Grants Birth through Five (PDG B-5)

These decisions are made through the annual Congressional appropriations process and “Dear Colleague” letters are an important part of that process. These letters are a top way for lawmakers to build support for these programs among their colleagues. 

More signers = more support. And more support leads to more affordable child care for more working parents with little ones. 

Is your Member of Congress on board? Ask them to sign on to their party’s “Dear Colleague” letters and show support for the child care and early learning programs that families in your town rely on.
