Childcare Resources Steps Up For Kids!
Representatives from Childcare Resources and approximately 30 other sponsoring organizations joined together on the Alabama Capitol Steps September 16th to “Step Up for Kids.”
During the Step Up for Kids rally, sponsoring organizations, other advocates, parents, children and featured speaker and Alabama Chief Justice Sue Bell Cobb called on all candidates, the media, and individual voters to remember what kids need this election year and beyond.
The rally was part of Step Up for Kids Day, a nationwide event sponsored by the nonprofit organization Every Child Matters. Rallies took place concurrently in each of the 50 states and the steps of the U.S. Capitol. For more information, click here.
