It’s a gray, rainy Wednesday in Washington but for President Obama it’s a milestone: his 100th day in the White House.
As throngs of pundits, op-ed writers, and others in the media examine and analyze the 44th president’s early efforts and outcomes, the Annie E. Casey Foundation, in Baltimore, is giving citizen y a chance to chime in—particularly those with an interest in child welfare and poverty issues.
The foundation’s 100 Days 100 Voices project asks people to answer two questions: What is the most important thing that the Obama administration has done for children and families during this first 100 days? And what should be next on the agenda?
Responses can be written (100 words or less) or in the form of a video of no more than two minutes in length. Photos can also be included as well. The foundation will begin sharing some of the responses later today. Officials there hope word about their project will spread among social networking sites, such as Twitter and Facebook.
“The campaign is designed as the start of a national conversation; we hope the discussion on progress made for kids and families will continue and remain part of the national agenda,” the Casey Foundation says on its site.
