Help us create real change for all of America’s children by making policy personal.

How have you or someone you know been affected by child poverty, budget cuts to federal programs supporting poor and low-income families, harsh school discipline policies, or other injustices? Have you taken action in your community that seeks to improve the odds for children in your community? Share your story of how policy impacts lives in your community.

Children’s Defense Fund does not provide direct services or legal guidance. Shared stories will be used to demonstrate the negative effects of current policies in an effort to encourage change.
