WWG Works with “Justice for Children”
Justice for Children: Expanding congressional outreach and bringing new resources to the fight to protect abused and neglected children.
Working With Government’s most recent client is Justice For Children (JFC).
Justice for Children is a national 501 (c )(3) child advocacy organization founded in 1987 to advocate for abused children who have been failed by the very systems that should have protected them, and implement collaborative solutions to enhance the quality of life for these children. JFC provides intensive case advocacy, court watch, pro bono legal services for direct representation for lower court proceedings or appeals and amicus curiae briefs.
JFC seeks to help members of congress better serve the youngest of their constituents whose voices must be considered when shaping legislation that directly impacts their survival. Working With Government is supporting JFC in these efforts by shaping and implementing a strategy that will both expand their congressional outreach efforts and bring new resources to their work on behalf of abused and neglected children.
On December 3, 2009, JFC will host it’s annual holiday fundraising reception from 5:30-8:00 pm at the offices of Venable, LLP, 575 7th Street NW, Washington D.C..
