Action Alert: Governor fails to prioritize children

Take action today to tell Governor Jerry Brown “Don’t cut kids!”

The Governor is scheduled to sign the state budget this Friday (June 15) – we only have today and tomorrow morning to educate him and key legislators that his budget proposal will devastate children’s programs. So take 2 minutes today to call Governor Brown.

What’s at stake? $8.3 billion for early-childhood education, health services and education for kids. Read more about these cuts by our partner, Children Now: California Budget Analysis (pdf)

Call or email right now. Below is a list of phone numbers and emails with a script. Take a stand for children today!

Script:

“The Governor’s proposed budget cuts to children’s health care (Healthy Families Program) and child care programs will destroy the pathway to success for our most vulnerable children and families.

I urge you to preserve California’s investment in early care and education and Healthy Families.”
