The Department of Health and Human Services has proposed major rule changes to Head Start that could harm local early childhood education. Once you find your congressional representative and their office phone number, use the sample script below:
Hello! My name is [your full name]. I am calling from [your town/city].
I am calling because I am deeply concerned about the Department of Health and Human Services’ proposed rule changes to Head Start. Head Start has served over 40 million children over the past 60 years, providing critical child care for families across the nation. The proposed harmful deregulation changes that, and if enacted, it will reduce child care access, increase classroom sizes, lower protections for children w/ disabilities, and diminish teacher qualification standards. Please do everything in your power to protect Head Start. Thank you for your time!
