Head Start changes lives.

Return on Investment in early childhood programs, like Head Start, is higher than the average return in the stock market (more than 13% annually), according to University of Chicago economist and Nobel laureate James Heckman (https://thehill.com/opinion/education/5267799-head-start-education-reform/

For nearly 60 years, Head Start has helped millions of low-income children across the United States get a fair start in life—providing early education, nutritious meals, healthcare access, and support for families.

But now, this vital program is under threat from billionaires.

The Trump-Musk administration is proposing devastating cuts to Head Start funding—and even proposing the elimination of the program altogether. That means fewer classrooms. Fewer teachers. And millions of poor kids and their families left behind.

You may be one person, but you must refuse to stay silent while needy kids are under attack.

This is not about politics. It’s about children.

Join me in urging Congress to stand up for Head Start. Tell your Members of Congress and Senators in Washington: Do not cut or eliminate Head Start. Protect it. Strengthen it. Fund it fully.

Every child deserves the chance to succeed—no matter their ZIP code or income level. Head Start works. Let’s not take it away.

Sign now and share this petition. Let’s flood Congress with a message they can’t ignore:

Our children’s futures are not negotiable. Save Head Start.
