Step forward for children

 		Childrens Defense Fund


Every child needs a champion!  They need someone to advocate for public policy that lifts them out of poverty, stand up for their right to adequate health coverage, good schools and safe streets, and protect them from abuse and neglect so they can grow up to be happy and healthy adults. They need you!  Please join us and take action today!
