    The Children's Defense Fund (CDF) is a non-profit child advocacy organization is working on policies and programs that lift children out of poverty; protect them from abuse and neglect; and ensure their access to health care, quality education and a moral and spiritual foundation. Their mission statement is The Children's Defense Fund Leave No Child Behind® mission is to ensure every child a Healthy Start, a Head Start, a Fair Start, a Safe Start and a Moral Start in life and successful passage to adulthood with the help of caring families and communities. This website is for individuals who want to make a difference in children's lives, as well as, protecting future generation kids that these kids will have. I made this assumption because it is mostly informational that has no objective ideas throughout the articles. Information is presented in concise easy to read formats. That really pulls the advocate out of every person who visits this site.
    I would also say that this site is credible because of the well known and credible foundations that have co-signed this foundation. A few of the foundation that have donated $100,000 or more include W.K. Kellogg, The Rockefeller group and Ben & Jerry's Foundation to name a few. also, that fact that the site does not try to hide financial reports for the company. They ask you to donate, but don't shove it on you and make you feel guilty if you do not.
    This site relates to our class in the fact that not all children have equal access to opportunities that every American is entitled to. For instance, on the opening page they are celebrating that children with pre existing conditions cannot be turned down for care. They strive to early childhood education and having a voice for the little tykes who cannot fight and dispute policies like grownups can. This site was very informative and insightful and I think everyone who plans to have kids or has nieces and/or nephews should check this site out and learn a few things about the discrepancies in children's lives.
