[YEP-DC] Children’s Defense Fund National Conference July 22-25

I'm writing on behalf of Marian Wright Edelman to let you know that the Children's Defense Fund is hosting a national conference for 3,000 leading child advocates, including 1,500 young adult leaders, July 22 - 25, 2012 in Cincinnati, Ohio. 

 

Will you please join us in Pursuing Justice for Children and the Poor with Urgency and Persistence?  Register today at: www.childrensdefense.org/conference

 

Through cutting edge plenary sessions and more than sixty compelling workshops, we will focus on the latest research, best practices, and community building models, as well as community and youth empowerment strategies to close the gap between what we know works and what we actually do for our most vulnerable—children and the poor.  America's top experts, leading practitioners, and most committed activists will help shape a national conversation on economic inequity and catalyze systematic action for children and the poor in 2012 and beyond as we continue the critical work of helping build a transforming movement to change America's priorities and create a just playing field for every child to survive and thrive.

 

Please see an invitation letter and overview of the program for more details at:

You can promote the event through newsletters, Facebook, Twitter, your website and congregational bulletins using tools available here:
