Every child deserves a strong start in life. But not all babies and their families share the same opportunities to thrive.  

On April 30, 2024, babies and their families from every state traveled to Washington, DC to make a fuss and tell Congress to Think Babies^TM.

Families from every state and the District of Columbia came to Washington, DC to share the challenges they face and call on Congress to build a better future for infants, toddlers and their families.

Join us for a Day of Action!

Help amplify Strolling Thunder^TM family voices by contacting your Members of Congress today and urging them to support the policies babies need.

 TAKE ACTION

Meet the Strolling Thunder baby representing your state!

We must make the potential of every baby our national priority through policies that promote good health, strong families and positive early learning experiences because when families succeed, we all succeed. Our future depends on it. 

Meet just a few of last year’s Strolling Thunder families and read about one mom’s experience visiting Capitol Hill.
