"Our Kids depicts the importance of compassion and 'community' in our efforts to meet the growing needs of youth. It's a call to action for all of us."
"As adults, many of us take our stable foundations for granted. I cannot stress enough the importance of awareness when it comes to kids in poverty. "Our Kids" will shed a much needed light on the impact of poverty in America and how the stress of poverty bleeds into every facet of life, especially when it comes to youth. The widening opportunity gap of this country is often unseen and unacknowledged by those of us who are privileged enough to do so."
"We are proud to have been among your many funders. Here at the Foundation, many of us watched the program together on a local NYC station. We are also pleased with the many related activities that have occurred, including the Our Kids Solutions Forum at UC-Riverside. Our support for your work was part of a long-term engagement with Robert Putnam's effort to draw attention and bring research to bear on unequal opportunities for young people throughout the United States. Thank you for MPC's important role in helping to inspire and advance this agenda."
