I had the privilege of speaking with two of the Recipients of the Juvenile Law Center Leadership Prize are leading lights whose inspirational careers are beacons for future generations and whose work has substantially improved the lives of youth. Please meet us online on May 12th to celebrate and honor our 2022 Leadership Prize winners:
Dorothy E. Roberts, J.D.; Scholar, Professor of Africana Studies, Law & Sociology, University of Pennsylvania and Tom Grisso, Ph.D.; Professor Emeritus, University of Massachusetts Medical School. Also being honored is Cyntoia Brown Long, Author/Speaker, Foundation for Justice, Freedom and Mercy. I spoke to Tom about his groundbreaking work which along with others which has positively impacted the ways juvenile offenders are treated in the criminal justice system. I speak to Roberts about the potential ramifications of the Roe v. Wade will be overturned by the Supreme Court.

Children First has been working closely with students from William Penn School District (one of the plaintiffs in the Fair Funding Lawsuit in Pennsylvania) to co-produce a student-led podcast, PENNding Funds, that shares their thoughts, frustrations, experiences, and hopes for future of education funding. These insightful interviews show how unfair funding has denied students a “thorough and efficient” education in their district. I spoke with three students, Trinity Giddings (11th), Paul Vandy (11th) and Lisa Asamoah (12th), who work with the Children First K-12 Team and two William Penn alumni, Ms. Susan Norton (’87), now an English teacher at Penn Wood High School, and Jacob McCann (’15). This dedicated group meets twice a week to edit their scripts and record episodes to be shared with the community at large to invoke conversations about the Fair Funding Lawsuit that begin in November 2021.
