Register Today for the Children's Defense Fund National Conference
We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can’t have both.
–Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis
We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history there is such a thing as
being too late…We must move past indecisiveness to action.
So begins a letter to friends of children all across this nation from Marian Wright Edelman of the Children ‘s Defense Fund. For the first time since 2003, CDF is hosting a national conference July 22-25, 2012 in Cincinnati, Ohio. With the theme Pursuing Justice for Children and the Poor with Urgency and Persistence, this promises to be a conference of action. Organize a Child Action Team in your community, come as a team to the conference July 22 – 25, 2012 in Cincinnati, Ohio and learn the most effective way you can make a difference and meet the needs of children in your community. Learn more about the program and register today.
In cutting edge plenary sessions and dozens of compelling workshops, participants will share the latest research and hear about best policies and practices, and community building and engagement models. The conference will explore empowerment strategies to close the gap between what we know works and what we actually do for our most vulnerable. America’s top experts, researchers, policymakers, practitioners, community advocates, service providers, and most committed and effective activists will help shape a robust national conversation about the urgent needs of children and the poor in 2012 and what we all can do to meet them.
