CEASE Links - Close Partners

CEASE Close Partners:

Alliance for childhood, www.allianceforchildhood.org  
The Alliance for Childhood promotes policies and practices that support children’s healthy development, love of learning, and joy in living. Public education campaigns bring to light both the promise and the vulnerability of childhood. We act for the sake of the children themselves and for a more just, democratic, and ecologically responsible future. Play and the critical importance of nature are the recent focus of the Alliance.

ACEI, Association for Childhood Education International, www.acei.org 
ACEI members from all corners of the world share a dual commitment to the fulfillment of every child's potential and to the professional development of teachers. They strive to promote the goals and mission of the organization; which are to promote the inherent rights, education and well-being of all children in their home, school and community. Mmbers work diligently to ensure that every child will be counted and have a voice.

CCFC, Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood, www.commercialfreechildhood.org
CCFC’s mission is to reclaim childhood from corporate marketers.  A marketing-driven media culture sells children on behaviors and values driven by the need to promote profit rather than the public good.  The commercialization of childhood is the link between many of the most serious problems facing children, and society exacerbated by advertising and marketing.  CCFC works for the rights of children to grow up—and the freedom for parents to raise them—without being undermined by commercial interests.

CRC, Campaign for the Ratification of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, www.childrightscampaign.org The Campaign for U.S. Ratification of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) is a volunteer-driven network of academics, attorneys, child and human rights advocates, educators, members of religious and faith-based communities, physicians, representatives from non-governmental organizations, students, and other concerned citizens who seek to bring about U.S. ratification and implementation of the CRC.
