Put Kids 1st

Each child brings Texas promise. To fulfill that promise and Put Texas 1st,
join the movement to
Put Kids 1st
.
 
What does it mean to Put Kids 1st?

To keep Texas:

strong,
by supporting children's health;

safe
, by protecting children from harm;

prosperous, by promoting financial security in children's homes;

prepared, by seeking success for all children, even those in trouble; &

whole
, by fostering healthy development and a sense of wellbeing in children.

When powerful decision-makers in Texas make choices, the people with resources have the ear of our leaders. The millions of children, for whom our public structures and supports matter most, often do not. We can be the resource they need, when we come together as a group to speak for kids.

Texas can ensure a future where children reach their potential. Working together, we have made progress as a state, in the past. Still, Texas has a long way to go—and needs your help. Today we are near the bottom in child wellbeing, but each of us has a part to play to ensure we reverse a trend that dims our prospects as a state.

Now, more than ever, each one of us can help bring real change. Together, we stand strong to ensure Texas puts nothing before our children.

Please join the movement, and ask others to join with you. Pledge to help Texas put kids 1st.
