For millions of families, WIC is a lifeline.
Reducing fruit and vegetable benefits for young children and pregnant women would make it harder for families to afford healthy food.
Congress must protect and prioritize #WIC funding. Send a message today: bit.ly/4uteJVr
As grocery prices continue to rise nationally, the House passed an appropriations bill that would cut $141 million in funding for a program that helps pregnant women and children purchase healthy foods. wapo.st/4ocfEIf

The #DRC was already one of the most dangerous places to be a child. Now, #Ebola is threatening children across the country.
Without urgent support, more kids will suffer severe illness, trauma, exploitation and even death.
Urge Congress to help today! bit.ly/3Pr3Y7O

Programs like WIC and Food for Peace help their families put nutritious meals on the table across the globe.
But current House budget proposals would cut their funding and threaten children's lifelines.
Tell Congress to protect these programs! bit.ly/3PBEFQk

Every year, 12 million girls lose their childhoods to marriage – girls that may never fulfill their hopes and dreams.
Child marriage shouldn’t exist in 2026! 🚫
Tell Congress: Childhood is NO time for marriage. 👇 bit.ly/4sD57Yg

As escalations intensify across the #MiddleEast and wider region, children face fear, displacement and uncertainty about their future.
At least 100M children across the region are at immediate risk. Our teams are responding to support children’s safety, health, and well-being.
ALT Quote: "For the first time, I feel truly pessimistic. The situation is extremely bad, nothing feels okay. We feel surrounded from all sides [by airstrikes]. Those who can leave will leave; those who remain will stay. It feels like it’s either life or death. If we aren’t killed by airstrikes, we fear we’ll die from hunger."
