Pre-K Now
Advocate Profiles

Children are a political constituency without a voice and, as such, rely on resourceful, determined advocates to protect their interests and secure the services they need. Effective activists create credible, grassroots efforts and compel government action.

The pre-k movement is fortunate to have a growing number of strong advocates in a variety of states, and Pre-K Now is proud to spotlight a few of the individuals who are making a difference for children in their states. If you would like to suggest an advocate to be profiled, please submit your suggestion to info@preknow.org.
