Watch This Moment from the First Lady

First Lady Michelle Obama yesterday brought a room filled with Chicago business and community leaders to tears as she challenged them to commit to the most important unfinished work of our lifetime -- to address the violent crime that is taking a terrible toll on our children.

Watch this incredibly powerful moment from the First Lady.

President Obama Sends Congress his Fiscal Year 2014 Budget
This year's Budget presents the President's plan to address these important questions: How do we attract more jobs to our shores? How do we equip our people with the skills needed to do those jobs? And how do we make sure that hard work leads to a decent living?

Working Together to Combat Human Trafficking
The first-ever White House Forum to Combat Human Trafficking brings together leaders from government, the private sector, advocates and survivors, faith leaders, law enforcement, and academia to talk about what we can do, together, to end human trafficking.

Increasing Access to Mental Health Services
President Obama’s Fiscal Year 2014 Budget includes a critical $205 million investment in programs to help identify mental health concerns early, improve access to mental health services and support safer school environments, and invests $30 million in tools and research that will expand our understanding of gun violence prevention, including key mental health issues.
