State of America's Children 2020 THE STATE OF AMERICA’S CHILDREN® 2020 ABOUT THE CHILDREN'S DEFENSE FUND TABLESECTION OF CONTENTS HEAD The Children’s Defense Fund’s Leave No Child Behind® mission is to ensure every child a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Fair Start, a Safe Start and a Moral Start in life and successful passage to adulthood with the help of caring families and communities. CDF provides a strong, effective and independent voice for all the children of America who cannot vote, lobby or speak for themselves. We pay particular attention to the needs of poor children, children of color and those with disabilities. CDF educates the nation about the needs of children and encourages preventive investments before they get sick, drop out of school, get into trouble or suffer family breakdown. CDF began in 1973 and is a private, nonprofit organization supported by individual donations, foundation, corporate and government grants. A Note about Using The State of America’s Children® 2020 At the Children’s Defense Fund, we recognize there is so much work to do across different policy areas and states to end child poverty and ensure all of America’s children an equal equitable start in life. To make progress and evaluate our progress in the future, it is helpful to know where we currently stand. The State of America’s Children® 2020 and corresponding state factsheets provide a comprehensive overview of how America’s children are doing nationally to inform conversations and improve policies to ensure no child is left behind. • The State of America’s Children® 2020 summarizes the status of America’s children in 11 areas: child population, child poverty, income and wealth inequality, housing and homelessness, child hunger and nutrition, child health, early childhood, education, child welfare, youth justice and gun violence. For each area, we compiled the most recent, available national and state-level data. The report includes key findings as well as data tables, which are useful for comparing different states. • Using data from the tables in The State of America’s Children® 2020, our state factsheets provide one-page summaries of how children are doing in each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia and nationwide. Whether you describe yourself as a teacher, child advocate, policymaker, policy wonk, college professor, faith leader, parent or grandparent, a millennial eager to make life better for your younger siblings, or a member of the media, we ask you to use The State of America’s Children® 2020, combined where possible with stories of real children, to inform your conversations and effectively make the case for policies, programs and strategies to improve the odds for children in your state and nationwide. We must keep moving forward. © 2020 Children’s Defense Fund. All rights reserved.

America’s Children® 2020 3 INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTIONSECTION HEAD A society must be judged by how it treats its most vulnerable—and most valuable—members: its children. The State of America’s Children® 2020 makes it abundantly clear that by this measure, America is falling shamefully short. For years our country has fallen short of its promise to its children, and as we enter a new decade, the situation for many children is only growing more dire. One in six children in America lives in poverty, with income inequality having grown to the widest gap our nation has seen in 50 years. Millions of children are homeless and millions more are just one missed paycheck away from losing their homes. Far too many children lack access to quality early childhood care during the most critical years of brain development. For the first time in a decade, the number of children without health coverage is on the rise. And across the country, from urban centers to rural towns, our nation’s gun violence epidemic is killing more children, more often. Even more damning is that as we reach a critical turning point in 2020, when children of color will become the majority of children in America, we are failing these children worst of all. Of the nearly 12 million

  • Exploring Narratives of Scarcity, Uncertainty, and Opportunity in Women’S Sports Coverage During the COVID-19 Pandemic
    International Journal of Sport Communication, 2020, 13, 408–418 https://doi.org/10.1123/ijsc.2020-0226 © 2020 Human Kinetics, Inc. SCHOLARLY COMMENTARY Exploring Narratives of Scarcity, Uncertainty, and Opportunity in Women’s Sports Coverage During the COVID-19 Pandemic Ellen J. Staurowsky Benjamin Koch, Drexel University Grace Dury, and Cooper Hayes and Ithaca College Ithaca College In this essay, the authors explored Pinsker’s conception of two pandemics, as reflected in the concerns expressed about the future of women’s sport, prospects for female athletes, and the security of women leaders in sport as they emerged in articles published in national news sources. The purpose of this essay was to capture, in a limited way, how women’s sport concerns surfaced in the media in the aftermath of a forced industry shutdown; to gauge reactions, assess real and perceived threats; and to examine how and whether this crisis inspired positive thoughts about women’s sport opportunities for the future. Our work is based on the tracking of articles published in major news outlets about the impact of the pandemic on women’s sport from March 10, 2020, to May 25, 2020. Readings of the collected articles revealed several themes that fit within the two pandemics framework: reactions to the loss of momentum in women’s sport; fears regarding a reversal in gains made by women’s sport in the marketplace as competition for limited resources escalates; concerns about women’s sport participation decreas- ing due to cuts and delays in programs; and a focused commitment to gender equity and maintaining momentum, even in the face of significant headwinds.

One World pres/CEO Sandy Brown will not be a part of the new venture.
