The Children’s Defense Fund Action Council’s Leave No Child Behind^® mission is to ensure every child a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Fair Start, a Safe Start and a Moral Start in life and successful passage to adulthood with the help of caring families and communities.

The CDF Action Council is a voice for the children who cannot vote, lobby, or speak for themselves. From advocating for policies and programs that ensure children a quality education, to securing health coverage for millions of children in poverty, everything we accomplish depends on the generosity of people like you. With your financial support, the CDF Action Council is prepared to stand even stronger and fight even harder on behalf of our nation’s children.
