Speaking Out for Children's Health cont.

The California Interfaith Partnership for Children's Health and the Environment, California
Interfaith, with Jewish participation

The Interfaith Partnership director explains it as follows: "Sometimes when I describe this Interfaith Partnership, I try to capture it by pointing out that we are not scientists, healthcare providers, or technical experts, and we are not the people who write laws, but we are intelligent people of faith who can read the reports written with information from scientists and physicians and who know we are called to care for the vulnerable. With this information, we can take steps in our own families, and we can communicate with policy makers about steps we need to take as a society."
