"The work of the Media Policy Center and, in particular, their focus surrounding Robert Putnam’s “Our Kids”, is vitally important as we consider the future health of our country. In reality, “Our Kids” are “Our Future.” Spotlighting initiatives around the country that are kid/family centered and offer real hope for bridging the opportunity gap that is growing in America, will certainly ignite important discourse and lay a path for hope and change.
"In a time when our country seems to be moving towards more ideological extremes, work such as "Our Kids" is incredibly important; it shines light on examples in the country where the social fabric of our country is diverse and strong in the area that our future most depends - the growth and development of our children."
"We are proud to have been among your many funders. Here at the Foundation, many of us watched the program together on a local NYC station. We are also pleased with the many related activities that have occurred, including the Our Kids Solutions Forum at UC-Riverside. Our support for your work was part of a long-term engagement with Robert Putnam's effort to draw attention and bring research to bear on unequal opportunities for young people throughout the United States. Thank you for MPC's important role in helping to inspire and advance this agenda."
