Proclamation 10312 of November 19, 2021
National Child's Day, 2021
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Our Nation's children are the kite strings that hold
our national ambitions aloft--and it is our shared
responsibility to make sure that they have every
opportunity to thrive. On National Child's Day, we
recommit ourselves to ensuring that every child in
America has a fair shot at a bright future, regardless
of the gender, race, ethnicity, or the zip code they
are born into.
To support our Nation's children, it is imperative that
we work to deliver equal access to quality child care
and education, health care, good jobs with dignity, and
a clean planet. That is why I am working with the
Congress to pass my Administration's Build Back Better
plan--a transformative investment in children,
families, climate resilience, and the foundations of
our economy. The Build Back Better Act is poised to
deliver high-quality child care that all families can
afford, universal access to preschool for all 3- and 4-
year-olds, lower costs for higher education so that
every child has an equal footing and opportunity to
succeed, historic tax cuts for working families raising
children, the largest expansion of affordable health
care coverage since the Affordable Care Act, and the
largest investment to fight climate change in American
history.
This landmark legislation will help ensure that every
child has a safer and healthier upbringing. It eases
the cost burden of raising a family--delivering a tax
cut directly into the pockets of working parents. It
will help America once again set the pace around the
world when it comes to educational attainment,
reversing generations of underinvestment in our
children's development and care. It will help us cut
greenhouse gas emissions and reduce pollution so that
our children can breathe clean air. With the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Act--we will also deliver high-speed
internet access to every American household and replace
our Nation's lead water pipes so that every child can
drink clean water at home and at school. I will also
continue to make the case for establishing a paid
family and medical leave program so no worker has to
make the impossible choice between work and caring for
themselves or a family member.
These historic bills build on the foundation we laid
with the American Rescue Plan, which has set us on a
course to reduce child poverty in America by nearly
half. The law continues to deliver critical resources
that have allowed our Nation's children to safely
return to the classroom, and it provides essential
tools to address the mental health needs of our
children and much-needed relief to families to improve
maternal and child health care.
We owe every child the opportunity to dream and
flourish, supported by adults helping to make their
dreams a reality. On National Child's Day, we reaffirm
our commitment to uplift the children in our lives and
in our communities. Their future is our future, and our
Nation's success tomorrow relies on the care and
investment we provide for our children today.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of
the United States of America, by virtue of the
authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws
of the United States, do hereby proclaim November 20,
2021,
[[Page 66916]]
as National Child's Day. I call upon all government
officials, educators, volunteers, and all the people of
the United States of America to observe this day with
appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
nineteenth day of November, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty-one, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and forty-
sixth.
