Afterschool for All Challenge
Afterschool for All Challenge
We've prepared social media posts on our Digital Action Toolkit to promote and participate in the Challenge. Here's a sample:
Today, I’m urging my reps in Congress to protect kids after school – and reject proposals to eliminate federal funding for local afterschool and summer programs nationwide. We need more, not less, afterschool and summer programs! #AfterschoolWorks Will you join me? http://www.afterschoolalliance.org/challenge.cfm
The President’s budget proposes eliminating dedicated federal funding for local afterschool and summer programs. 1 in 5 children may lose their programs nationwide. Join me in telling Congress #AfterschoolWorks 3to6.co/congress
Thank you [@InsertRepHandle] for supporting the local afterschool and summer programs that keep kids in our state safe and engaged, and help parents provide for their families. Protect kids and keep funding for 21st Century Community Learning Centers! #AfterschoolWorks
There’s nothing like seeing afterschool firsthand to turn a skeptic into a champion. Every member of Congress has local offices and staff. Invite them to come visit! Members themselves are also home several times a year, during Congressional recesses, and appreciate the chance to see and talk to their constituents. So invite them to see firsthand how afterschool and summer learning work in your district.
