The public is welcome to attend the hearing, provide written testimony, or watch the hearing via Webinar. This hearing will focus on how to protect children, help them heal from violence, and create a safe environment so they can thrive.
The Defending Childhood Task Force is chaired by Joe Torre, former manager of the New York Yankees, founder of the Joe Torre Safe At Home® Foundation, and a witness to violence as a child; and Robert Listenbee, Jr., Chief of the Juvenile Unit of the Defender Association of Philadelphia. Thirteen experts in children's exposure to violence comprise the task force's membership.
