As January is National Slavery & #HumanTrafficking Prevention Month, it’s as good a time as any to hold all involved with Epstein accountable. Well, as good a time except for any other day in the last however many years that the govt has been sitting on that information.

Very much appreciate this recent coverage of the #VR3model, which is my attempt at a framework for building more child-supportive institutions. Grateful to @brucelesley.bsky.social, whose work I truly admire, for this coverage.

First Focus on Children released our annual report yesterday, Children's Budget 2025. The findings show a 30+% decline in the share of federal funding to children from 2021 to Trump's FY 2026 budget proposal.

Happy to share my latest article, in which I propose a new framework that can help gov't agencies become more supportive of children.

Important week next week as the UN will start work exploring new int’l law on the right to education. It’s time: every country must commit to ensuring every child can access education

Thks to @bedeonkidrights.bsky.social for sharing my essay & for his leadership on the issue

Let's end the outdated notion that children aren’t mature enough to participate in decisions that affect their lives (it's their right!). Remarkable insights from pre-school children in this study

Fantastic campaign from the Irish Network for Education Worldwide urging Ireland to back the proposed treaty to strengthen kids' right to FREE education: educationworldwide.ie/advocacy-pol... Hoping @simonharrisireland.bsky.social adds Ireland's name to the majority of EU states already on board!

Finally joined @bsky.app. Kicking off with an article that @ursulak.bsky.social & I published recently on #Sport, #ChildRights, and #HumanRightsEducation — fair to say I’m obsessed about all three.
