Child Poverty
More than 20 years and 151 presidential debates have passed without a single question on child poverty. Candidates have been asked about the World Series, cursing in movies, and flag lapel pins but not preventable, costly, and immoral child deprivation in the wealthiest nation on earth. When a child is born into poverty every 51 seconds in America, we cannot afford to wait for our leaders to take this crisis seriously.
As we reflect back on the year – and look ahead to 2020 – we celebrate the wins that will make the future brighter for children, reflect on the attacks that put our children in danger, and recommit ourselves to the fight to protect vulnerable children and families.
