Gearing up to STAND for the worlds children

Hi. Our children are growing up in a global community that’s highly connected. I believe my child’s security and our country’s security depends on children thriving everywhere. I’ve joined Stand for the World’s Children. This spring, we are reaching 1 million mothers and others (through personal contact, media, FaceBook and Twitter) to influence our elected leaders to prioritize the lives of orphans and other vulnerable children. We are asking:
1. President Obama to designate a Children’s Ambassador - reporting directly to Secretary of State Clinton - to oversee and prioritize funding for programs that serve children internationally. 2. Congress to fully fund programs benefiting orphans and other vulnerable children.
Ensuring all children have access to what they need to grow and participate productively, is not only a moral decision, it’s a strategic one. As Secretary of State Clinton said, “Our security, our vitality, and our ability to lead in today’s world oblige us to recognize the overwhelming fact of our interdependence.”
