Subject:Support Early Childhood Care in MI

Dear [Lawmaker]:

Thank you for your earnest work in these incredibly challenging times. I am writing as an Episcopalian and a person of faith to urge you to fund high quality prevention and family support programs that can help keep families together and children safe and healthy. Our Gospels tell us Jesus said "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." (Matthew 19:14) As people of faith we are called to protect children as the precious gift that they are. The Episcopal Church has long supported the importance of early childhood care and family assistance. As you continue your work on the state budget, please: - Protect funding for the 0 to 3 Secondary Prevention program; - Protect funding for the Nurse Family Partnership program; and - Protect funding for the Great Parents/Great Start Program. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Ana White
