So many politicians in our country – mostly, but not all, Republicans – show cruel indifference to many other forces that hurt children, including poverty and the climate crisis. Though children were largely spared from the death toll, many lost parents, grandparents and other family members. Worse, some of those standing in the way in Congress are profiting off the burning of fossil fuels that threatens the very survival of our children. But once children are born, too many elected leaders seem to have no interest in their welfare. But the adults in Congress, who promised to take action, did nothing to prevent it from happening again.
