Great Start Parent Coalition members meeting with their state representative

Thousands of parents, teachers, advocates and community members devoted to supporting young children in Michigan will gather at the state Capitol to meet with lawmakers, encourage support of early childhood investment, celebrate early childhood initiatives, enjoy fun family activities and much more.

A majority of legislators is new this year and have not necessarily heard the tremendous benefits that early childhood investments bring to our community and our state.  Be a voice for children!  Stand together to ensure that every young child in Michigan arrives at the kindergarten door,safe, healthy and ready for school success.  Star Power is the largest child advocacy event in the state.

Want to motivate your friends, neighbors, business leaders, clergy and law enforcement to join you for Star Power.  Send them the link to this power new video:  Star Power Video.
