An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Reverse HHS reinterpretation of PRWORA; Head Start is an educational program, let ALL children attend

163 so far! Let’s get to 250 signers!

I urge you to reconsider the recent changes to PRWORA that deny access to Head Start programs for children of immigrants without legal status. Head Start plays a vital role in providing early childhood education, health, nutrition, and parent involvement services to low-income families. Denying these critical services to children based solely on their parents' immigration status is cruel and counterproductive, depriving vulnerable youngsters of the foundation they need for healthy development and future success. I implore you to uphold our nation's commitment to giving every child a fair start in life by restoring access to Head Start regardless of immigration status.
