At the moment this seems to be a comprehensive statement from our collective hearts. I'll take a more critical look later and consider suggestions. We are making progress!

I appreciate the work here very much. You have managed to say a great deal through few words. It seems as though much of what we have dialoged about previously can be found here and I am grateful for the inclusion of many different voices & themes.

I would like to see the inclusion of a statement which demonstrates ‘action’ in the dedication sentence – as I believe this is a theme I have heard many times from the group. Possibly the addition of the following:

…It's members are dedicated to affirming the basic rights of and creating realalistic solutions for children and families who are disenfranchised by an unjust socio-economic structure…

We have a sense of action and urgency when we meet – these may not be the words that convey those sentiments – but it is a sentiment I hope we can include.

Wonderful!
