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.

Good afternoon!

It’s hard to believe that August is upon us. This summer has gone by very quickly, much to my kids’ chagrin! 

In addition to heading back-to-school, August brings the official start of the presidential election process – as we’re all aware with the considerable buzz surrounding tonight’s first debate!

Save the Children Action Network (SCAN) wants to be part of the conversation. We aim to put our core issues—early childhood education in the U.S. and maternal, newborn and child survival around the world—front and center during the presidential election. To that end, this week we launched our High 5 for Kids (https://t.e2ma.net/click/pzw3e/h9ytd/l84slc) campaign, and we’re asking you to join us!

High 5 for Kids will engage SCAN activists in three early primary states—Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina—to ask all presidential candidates what they would do to ensure that all children have a chance at a bright future. The campaign also includes TV, digital and print ads (https://t.e2ma.net/click/pzw3e/h9ytd/105slc) in Iowa as well as a door-to-door voter education and engagement campaign. We are raising our hands for kids by inviting our supporters to ask tough questions of the candidates.

Our supporters can send us the questions they want to ask the candidates through SCAN’s website (https://t.e2ma.net/click/pzw3e/h9ytd/ht6slc), and in a few weeks we’ll offer the chance to vote for the questions people most want us to ask the candidates. 

I would love your support and invite you to submit your own question (https://t.e2ma.net/click/pzw3e/h9ytd/xl7slc) and then share on your Facebook (https://t.e2ma.net/click/pzw3e/h9ytd/de8slc) and Twitter pages (https://t.e2ma.net/click/pzw3e/h9ytd/t68slc). 

As you know, we’ve been speaking directly with the candidates about our issues. We’ve been pleased to hear several candidates express support. Just last week, Hillary Clinton told us (https://t.e2ma.net/click/pzw3e/h9ytd/9y9slc) how key children are to our country’s future, and Martin O’Malley released a new video (https://t.e2ma.net/click/pzw3e/h9ytd/pratlc) stating that he’d lead efforts to end the preventable deaths of moms and children. This summer, Marco Rubio also chatted with us about early childhood education (https://t.e2ma.net/click/pzw3e/h9ytd/5jbtlc). Our High 5 for Kids campaign will enable us to keep asking questions – and bring two of the greatest issues facing children and families today to the forefront of the debate.

I hope you will help us keep the pressure on presidential candidates to invest in kids. As always, I welcome your thoughts and questions. Please keep in touch. 

Warmly,

Mark
