Trump is threatening to eliminate all funding for Head Start—after already freezing grants & closing regional offices. This puts early learning, child care, and family support at risk nationwide. Kids deserve better. Tell Congress: #ProtectHeadStart now.

URGENT! RFK Jr. is proposing harmful rule changes to Head Start that would:

❌ reduce #childcare access
❌ increase classroom sizes
❌ lower protections for kids w/disabilities
❌ diminish teacher qualification standards
