Summary

The National Council of La Raza (NCLR) is launching a nationwide postcard campaign to help save the William F. Goodling Even Start Family Literacy Program (Even Start). Even Start provides early childhood education services to children, and literacy and English classes to their parents. Even Start is the only program in the U.S. Department of Education that serves children from birth to age three. We hope to present tens of thousands of postcards to the Senate in late September. The Senate has not allocated funding for this essential program that serves economically and educationally disadvantaged families, almost half of whom are Hispanic. You can help us send a message to Congress by downloading this postcard, sending it to your networks, and mailing it back to NCLR by Wednesday, September 19, 2007. Please mail the postcards to: Attention: Erika Beltran, Raul Yzaguirre Building, 1126 16th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20036.
