Call and Write Congress Today<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"YPA-main-2014-peacebuilding_vs2_150\"<\/a>Momentum is really picking up with the Youth PROMISE Act<\/b><\/a>.\u00a0 In the last few weeks, five new co-sponsors<\/b> have signed on in the U.S. House of Representatives, including 2 Republicans!\u00a0 That brings our total to 105 signed on in the House, 6 of whom are Republican.<\/p>\n

While there aren\u2019t any recent new co-sponsors officially in the Senate, momentum is clearly building due to some important behind the scenes activities.\u00a0 We hope to see action there soon and you can help with the push to help our kids.<\/p>\n
