Every Child Matters is pleased to announce the release of our second free video in as many weeks, "Homeland Insecurity: Why New Investments in Children and Youth Must Be a Priority for the Obama Administration and the 111th Congress."
In this 11 minute video, ECM president Michael Petit presents the latest data on child well-being in the U.S. It contains state data on child well-being, as well how the U.S. compares against other countries. It makes a succinct case for shifting federal budget priorities more towards children and families.
Last week we released the 7 minute 'Presidents Helping Children' video, which shows the role of the White House in lifting the status of the nation's children. We hope you will find both videos helpful in your own staff and public education efforts, that you will forward them to your friends and colleagues, and that you will post them on your organization's website if appropriate.
Help Kids: Petition Congress!
We need more signatures to help urge Congress to support the child-friendly principles in President Obama's budget. Please, if you haven't yet, sign the petition calling upon Congress to follow and build upon the President's lead in crafting its forthcoming Budget Resolution, recognizing that there is no time to waste in meeting the long-deferred health, education and social needs of the nation's children.
