Building a movement for child well-being and racial justice is hard
work. It takes intentionality, persistence, faith, and community. So,
for nearly 30 years, Children's Defense Fund (CDF) has brought
together faith-based advocates and educators, organizers and leaders,
and parents and youth in intergenerational, interracial, multi-ethnic,
and ecumenical community to attend our annual Samuel DeWitt Proctor
Institute for Child Advocacy Ministry.  

On the storied grounds of CDF Haley Farm in Knoxville, TN, CDF's
Proctor Institute is where we sing and pray, strategize and organize,
and congregate and advocate in our pursuit of justice for our
nation's children. We share stories of struggle and of hope, and
we learn from each other, a beloved community committed to realizing
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision for every young person and
ending child poverty. 

In order to address the multitude of challenges facing our children
and youth today, it will take commitment, support, and action from
individuals and organizations across a variety of sectors. Though
Proctor Institute is rooted in the faith community's legacy of
engagement in civil rights organizing and collective action,
participation is not limited to attendees who identify with a
religion. It is an exciting opportunity for personal and collective
learning and growth for anyone interested in child wellbeing, racial
justice, and social justice. 

Join us this year for our 28th annual Proctor Institute where we will
be led in theological, political and personal discussions on topics
examining the heart of democracy and how we can create a better future
for young people.
