Hello,

Thank you so much for signing the petition to protect Head Start from being shut down. Your voice is making a difference!

Now, we need your help to grow this movement. Please share the petition with your friends, family, fellow Head Start parents, and anyone who believes in giving every child a strong start — including children with disabilities, who benefit deeply from the critical services Head Start provides.

Head Start isn’t just a preschool program — it’s a lifeline for low-income families and children with special needs. Threats to defund or dismantle it put our communities and children’s futures at risk.
