Dear John,


In just three weeks, supporters and leaders from across the country will gather for an unforgettable night of community and commitment at Children’s Defense Fund’s "A National Celebration of Joy" ([link removed]) event.


This in-person event will feature reflections, storytelling, and a celebration honoring the movement for child well-being and racial justice. Whether you are a longtime partner or new to the CDF community, this is your invitation to experience what Building Beloved Community looks like.
