Every day in this country, children’s rights are violated. The U.S. spends more money to incarcerate children than to educate them and far too many appear in court without lawyers to advocate for them. You can help stop these injustices and better protect children! Make a secure donation now, or scroll down for other ways to get involved or send support.
