How Are the Childen
What needs to change in our community so that we can one day say, that “all the children are well?
The Justice for Every Child Manifesto Workshops were designed to provide a platform for us to consider what needs to change in our community so that we can one day say, truthfully, that “all the children are well.” The feedback received during these initial workshops represents a wide and diverse cross-sector of our community, with more than 200 residents (including youth) participating.
The themes that have emerged from our workshops emphasize the needs and the hopes that we have encountered repeatedly in our work with the community of those most impacted by the decisions made by stakeholders and elected officials.
