    FY23 Title IV-A Letter

    In order to support a safe and healthy school environment and make sure our students receive a well-rounded education that puts them on a path to success, we must continue to invest in our nation’s schools, educators, and most importantly, our students. For these reasons, we urge Congress to fund the SSAE flexible grant program at $2 billion in FY 2023. Thank you for your 1 of 4 consideration of this request. We look forward to working with you to make sure students in every community are supported to reach their maximum potential.

  • CDF Urges the Senate to Confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court

    As an organization rooted in the civil rights and children’s rights movements, we strongly support Jackson’s nomination and believe that, based on her qualifications, diverse experience, and strong judicial record, she will vigorously protect the rights our children and families have fought tirelessly for and, as a past public defender, bring a unique perspective that is needed to the bench. Her historic and long overdue nomination as the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court will have ripple effects for Black women, youth, and girls around the nation.
