Save The Children Action Network

Save the Children Action Network (SCAN) is Save the Children’s political advocacy arm, created in 2014 to be the political voice for kids. Through a combination of grassroots activism, compelling messaging and candidate engagement, we build relationships with policymakers to increase investments in expanding access to early childhood education, preventing child hunger in the U.S and globally and protecting children around the world from harm in times of crisis. Every child deserves a chance to thrive! America’s strength starts with kids—at home and around the world. When we invest in kids, we invest in the strength, security, and success of our nation—because the foundation of a thriving America is built with health, education, and the well-being of every child. Through bold grassroots action, powerful storytelling, and direct engagement with candidates and lawmakers, Save the Children Action Network is transforming how policy gets made to ensure every child gets the strong start they deserve.
