For decades, Head Start has been a lifeline for the nation's most low-income families, providing crucial childcare, nutrition assistance, and healthcare services. However, Trump and his MAGA supporters in Congress want to implement catastrophic cuts to this vital program!
Head Start provides essential early learning opportunities and support to over 790,000 young children.
Gutting funding would devastate these kids and their families and send shockwaves through our already overburdened childcare system, leading to increased waiting lists and soaring costs.
Research consistently shows that Head Start enhances educational outcomes, reduces rates of teen pregnancy and criminal activity, and boosts future earnings.
At the Six PAC we are fighting for our kids's futures. We support pro-public education, pro-child, pro-democracy progressives at every level, from school board to the White House!
These cuts would be particularly severe in rural America, which receives 46 percent of Head Start funding. Many of these areas have no other childcare options, and recent closures of regional Head Start offices, combined with a funding freeze earlier this year, have left programs struggling to survive.
According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, every $1 invested in programs that benefit kids yields $10 in societal returns! But now Republicans want to cut these programs to give billionaires more tax cuts!
We must not let this critical lifeline be severed.
The Six PAC is a Federal PAC created to support six carefully selected rural and progressive Democrats. We will focus on candidates who need early money, who face tough primaries against establishment candidates, and who are committed to building power for their community. We will accept no corporate money. This is grassroots money for grassroots candidates. Chip in $3 or more to our work here.
