Speak Now For Kids Raises Awareness About Health Reform

Did you know eight percent of all children in America do not have health insurance? That’s about 11 million children nationwide. That’s too many.

Spearheaded by the National Association of Children’s Hospitals (N.A.C.H.), leading children’s organizations are gearing up to launch a grassroots mobilization campaign asking Congress and the Obama Administration to make health care reform work for children.

What: National Speak Now for Kids in Health Reform Campaign
The campaign utilizes interactive Web technology to allow advocates to register online as champions for children’s health, express their priorities for children in health reform and upload testimonials about experiences with children’s health care. Gathered data will be broken out by Congressional district and rolled up nationally to display advocates’ opinions in a user friendly dash board.

Who: The National Association of Children’s Hospitals (N.A.C.H.)
National campaign partners include the American Academy of Pediatrics,
Children’s Defense Fund, Children’s Health Fund, First Focus and March of Dimes.

When: May 6 through the month of May
