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 have had a great start to fall. My book on Pope Francis is due at the end of this month—I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!—and on track to be released at Easter. I appreciate all the prayers, encouragement and support I have received over the last year.

I have some good news to share today: Representatives Dave Reichert (R-Washington), Betty McCollum (D-Minnesota) Barbara Lee (D-California) and Michael McCaul (R-Texas) introduced the Reach Every Mother and Child Act (https://t.e2ma.net/click/pnv6i/h9ytd/ls06ce) yesterday afternoon! This legislation would save the lives of 15 million children and 600,000 women all over the world. Senators Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Chris Coons (D-Delaware) introduced a similar bill in July and it now has four more cosponsors, including Republican presidential candidate Senator Marco Rubio of Florida.

As we did for the Senate bill, Save the Children Action Network (SCAN) led the charge, with a coalition of more than 20 diverse organizations, and we are delighted to have bipartisan support, which is rare in D.C. 

I’m also pleased to share that two SCAN Student Ambassadors – Chloe McGill from Seattle, Washington and Sruthi Palaniappan from Cedar Rapids, Iowa – represented the U.S. at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York City last month. The girls were among 18 Youth Ambassadors from around the world who actively participated in UNGA activities. Chloe and Sruthi met with world leaders like British Prime Minister David Cameron and high-ranking U.S. government officials, where they talked about the Reach Act. You can see a photo recap of their trip here (https://t.e2ma.net/click/pnv6i/h9ytd/1k16ce).

We have a full agenda for the rest of 2015 and, as always, we will keep you posted on our progress. If you have any thoughts or questions in the meantime, please don’t hesitate to contact me. And please join me on Facebook (https://t.e2ma.net/click/pnv6i/h9ytd/hd26ce) and Twitter (https://t.e2ma.net/click/pnv6i/h9ytd/x526ce).

Many thanks for your support.

Warmly,

Mark
