THE CHILD in Contra Costa County )
One-fourth of Contra Costa' s population are children. Since
children have no political influence or economic power of their
own, their welfare depends on the care and thought adults give to
them.
An increasing number of Contra Costa's children are in trouble.
Six percent of the county' s population lives in poverty; 24 percent
of those are children. Many of these children suffer the effects
of poor health, violence, abuse, homelessness, and alcohol and drug
abuse. The well being of society depends on the future productive-
ness of our children. and programs that serve these children must
be preserved and strengthened.
The Contra Costa Children' s Coalition will hold a forum on
September 25 to discuss "Children in Danger: Facing the Fiscal
Crisis," which is also sponsored by the Mt. Diablo Unitarian
.Universalist Church Children' s Task Force and The Children and
Youth Policy Project.. The Board of Supervisors wishes to lend its
support and to urge the citizens of Contra Costa to make children
and their families the first priority in this time of fiscal
crisis.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors
proclaims' September 25, 1992, as THE DAY OF THE CHILD in Contra
Costa County.
PASSED AND ADOPTED ON September 15, 1992, by a unanimous vote of
