Stand Up For Child Rights
|
Everything that has been achieved thus far has been made possible because of the committed support of hundreds of committed volunteers across 22 US cities and thousands of donors across the USA who believed that “Change is possible, because I'll make it possible.”
So we know it's possible. But if this transformation has to go beyond a few thousand communities, then we need to do more. In fact, we have a historic opportunity to do much more. To use our new-found economic success to build a future that is not just prosperous for a few, but secure for all children.
But doing so on any significant scale will require at least 4 things to happen:
- First, we must start seeing children as citizens with rights as inviolate as our own, rather than objects of charity.
- Second, their interests must become the centerpiece and touchstone of policy, be it at the level of the State, the organizations we work in, even within our neighborhoods and families. Their well-being must become the standard by which we measure our success.
- Third, those policies and the everyday choices we make, must seek to address the root causes of children's problems not just their superficial symptoms.
- Finally, we must all - as parents, teachers, investors, neighbors, businesspersons, lawyers, consumers, activists, students, judges, administrators, journalists and politicians alike - overcome our apathy, cynicism and sheer inertia and reconfigure our priorities to put children first.

Please stand up for what is right - stand up for child rights.
