To succeed, to be happy and healthy, kids need safety and support. Unfortunately, too many kids do not feel safe or supported at school or in out-of-school-time programs (OST) because they do not share the dominant culture’s abilities, race, religion, orientation, identity or identity expression. For the third year in a row, Talking About Kids was granted media access to all of NYC Pride’s events, and took the opportunity to ask two of the parade Grand Marshalls about the importance of safe spaces for kids. The first voice you will hear is Elisa Crespo, the Executive Director of the Stonewall Community Foundation. After her, you will hear Alaina Daniels, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Transformative Schools. More information about these activists, including links to their organizations, is at talkingaboutkids.com.
