Rather than standing or speaking for children, we need to stand with children speaking for themselves. We don't need a political movement for children... [we need to] build environments and policies for our collective future.

About This Quote

Children don’t need political movements. They need people who care about them and will fight for their futures. For instance, more than 300 children’s centers, home schools and other independent school programs nationwide will close in the next two years. This is because of lack of funding and the assumption that they’re not needed anymore.

However, we know that these schools are working. We just don’t have the resources to keep them open. And so it's up to us to build environments and policies for our collective future.
