Take Action

Voices cheers the passage of health reform!

The health care bill bolsters Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program, covers the uninsured, ends insurer discrimination against preexisting conditions for children and helps children and families in countless other ways.

Thanks to all of you who wrote or called your legislator so that children’s needs could be heard!

Pass Juvenile Justice Reform Now

For more than 35 years, the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) has provided crucial protections for youth who are involved in the juvenile justice system. These protections include keeping youth in the juvenile justice system out of adult jails and lock-ups, ensuring that non-delinquent status offenders (such as children who are truant, runaway or violate curfew laws) are not placed in locked juvenile detention or correction facilities; providing mental health and drug treatment programs; and addressing the disproportionate representation of youth of color in the juvenile justice system.

Support reauthorization of the JJDPA to prevent service cuts and ensure federal assistance for effective youth programs.  Write your representative today!
