Make Children and Families a Priority!
Tell Congress to Make Children and Families a Priority!
We’re helping our friends at the Children’s Leadership Council (CLC) to send a message to Congress letting them know that now is not the time to cut funding for services that serve children and families in need. Please take a moment to follow the three simple steps outlined below:
(1) Sign on to the CLC debt ceiling letter and then forward it to your networks!
The Debt ceiling negotiations are heating up! Please sign your organization on to the CLC letter and then forward it to your networks. It is especially critical that we have representation from state and local organizations. (Note: this letter is for organizational sign on only.)
(2) Have every individual in your office sign on to the CLC Debt Ceiling Petition, then Post it on Facebook and Twitter, and Send it out to your colleagues, friends, and families!
To ensure that our message gets through loud and clear, we are coupling the CLC organizational sign on letter with an online petition. The petition is designed to be circulated through social media, as well as more traditional means, and will allow us to access a wider audience than would be reached through a sign on letter alone. Below are some sample tweets and Facebook status updates you can use to spread the word.
Click here to sign the petition.
(3) Tweet and Facebook About It!

(4) Take Five Minutes to Call the White House (1-888-245-0215):
Message:
Any deficit reduction plan must protect programs for low-income families.
Low-income assistance programs must be exempt from any caps and automatic across-the-board cuts which could be triggered when budget targets or fiscal restraint targets are missed.
