David Cicilline: “Nothing is more crucial to our nation's long-term future than an educated citizenry.”

Since the Goldman Act was enacted there has been a decline in the number of American children abducted overseas and that is a good news story.

The difference is you’ll be increasing education funding and distributing it through a formula that’s fair and equitable, and ensure that every student in Rhode Island has access to what they need to be successful.

We must remember that child abduction is child abuse and it has devastating emotional, psychological, and even physical consequences for both abducted children and their families left behind.

The problem is we haven't committed to a mission. I have asked Secretary Blinken to define what he thinks the mission is.
