Speaking of new websites, our friends at the Philadelphia Children's Commission wanted us to know that their site is now up and ready.
Particularly of note:
In 2007, the Philadelphia Children's Commission will engage in a campaign to ensure that all Mayoral candidates support "And How are the Children': A Platform for Philadelphia's Future" — a comprehensive series of policies and reforms designed to make a difference for the city's children and youth.
We look forward to the release of these initiatives and doing what we can to make sure the candidates speak to issues of child health and welfare. Afterall, one could argue that the violence and crime that we're experiencing today are the result of conditions that existed 18-25 years ago. That's not to say that we can't do anything for this current crop of 18-25 year olds but we can sure as hell make sure that we don't make the same mistakes.
