Founded by Save the Children in 2014, Save the Children Action Network is a new 501 (c)(4) organization that aims to mobilize Americans around a commitment that cannot wait - investing in early childhood now.

Dear Hunter,

I hope you are enjoying the crisp fall weather as much as I am. Jeanne and I attended Molly’s last tennis match of the season yesterday – it’s hard to believe our oldest is a senior in high school and headed to college in less than a year. This school year has been full of bittersweet moments and it’s only October…oy vey…

Over the last several months, Save the Children Action Network (SCAN) has been engaging with the presidential candidates and asking them how they plan to invest in kids if they are elected. That’s why I was so encouraged that at last night’s Democratic debate (https://t.e2ma.net/click/tu3gj/h9ytd/1czbhe), former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton brought up early childhood education as a way for children to succeed.

“We need to be committed to making it possible for every child to live up to his or her God-given potential,” she said about halfway through the debate. “That is really hard to do if you don't have early childhood education.”

We couldn’t agree more. That’s why in the days leading up to the debate, we encouraged moderator Anderson Cooper and CNN to ask the candidates to share their stances on high-quality early childhood education. We also went directly to the candidates and asked them to raise the issue, engaging thousands of our supporters, as well as our coalition partners, in this online campaign.

While we were pleased with Secretary Clinton’s remarks last night, we are not resting on our laurels. We will continue to engage all the candidates—Democrats and Republicans alike—both online and in person.

Just last week, I spoke with Secretary Clinton in New Hampshire, where she told me that early learning is one of her top priorities. Former Governor Martin O’Malley, Governor John Kasich, and Governor Bobby Jindal spoke with our staff and volunteers in Iowa earlier this fall. And former Governor Jeb Bush even gave our supporters a “High 5 for Kids” in Des Moines. See below for some photos from the field!

I hope you will join us in making kids a priority in the upcoming election. Please click here to receive regular updates and opportunities to take action! (https://t.e2ma.net/click/tu3gj/h9ytd/h5zbhe)

Many thanks for your support.

Warmly,
