Reading Is Fundamental
RECEIVED Sun., July 7, 2024
Dear Editor,
Education is a fundamental right, yet countless children around the world are deprived of quality education. In Austin, we are fortunate to have access to excellent schools and dedicated teachers, but it's crucial to recognize that many children globally do not share this privilege.
Supporting initiatives like the READ Act (Reinforcing Education Accountability in Development Act) is essential. This legislation aims to ensure that children worldwide receive quality education, equipping them with the knowledge and skills they need to build better futures. As Austinites, we can play a significant role in advocating for this cause.
When I began volunteering with the Borgen Project, I learned how powerful advocacy can be in shaping policy. By working with U.S. congressional leaders, the Borgen Project supports the approval of legislation that promotes global education. While it's heartening to see Austinites value education in our local schools, we need to extend this commitment to children everywhere.
By supporting the READ Act and other similar initiatives, we embody the inclusive and forward-thinking spirit of Austin. Let's ensure that our dedication to education extends beyond our city's borders, enabling children around the world to access the quality education they deserve. Taking action now can create a ripple effect of positive change for generations to come.
