We are grateful for the transformative advocacy of Marian Wright Edelman, founder and President Emerita of the Children’s Defense Fund (CDF), one of the nation’s strongest voices for children and families. Ms. Edelman has spent her professional career advocating for Americans who face socio-economic disadvantage, and she has created groundbreaking programs to address that inequality, including the “Leave No Child Behind” mission, which ensures every child has a healthy and fair start in their very early years. 🖤💗💛💚 #NationalBlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistoryMonth #CelebrateBlackHistory (fb)

Care and concern from and connection with a trusted adult can prevent a child’s exploitation. Together, CASA and GAL volunteers across the country are a prevention army focused on the child's and youth's safety and well-being. https://nationalcasagal.org/our-work/priority-focus-areas/trafficking/ #HumanTraffickingPreventionMonth (fb)
