Child Defender,
How a child or youth experienced the past two yearsthe ongoing pandemic and its losses, the national reckoning with racism, the assault on American democracycan be known truly only by asking "Where does it hurt?" and listening attentively. Children, and the adults who can help them, need safe spaces for these vital conversations, which is why the Children's Defense Fund partners with faith communities across the country that can hold space for listening to and engaging with youth.
Your gift to the Children's Defense Fund today will help us expand our reach into denominationally and racially diverse communities and congregations designed to advance child well-being: [link removed]
Working hand-in-hand with communities of faith builds power for children and families. Together, we reflect on their commitments, explore critical issues facing youth in our communities, and develop plans for addressing these concerns in our neighborhoods.
We've been living in an extended period that has challenged our individual capacity to have faith in our systems, in our government, and in one another. Now is the time to set a new exampleto children and families who are facing rising poverty, inequities in income and education, violence, and lack of health care. With your support, we can channel faith into action in ways that can span the spectrums that divide us and uplift every child.
Your support is an act of faith in us and of hope for our children. Join us and commit to listening and healing, and to taking action in the year to come: [link removed]
With gratitude,
Glen Vinson, Jr.
National Organizer, Faith Communities
