WESTPORT, CT – On May 2, 2025, The Center for Children’s Advocacy (CCA), New England’s
largest children’s legal rights organizations, will host its second ‘Giving Children A Voice’ event.
At the event, CCA Executive Director Sarah Eagan will speak to the need for systemic reform,
including expanding youth and family services to improve low-income children’s lives. “Now
more than ever we must double down on our commitment to a society where, truly, no child is
left behind, where all children can access the safety, education and healthcare they need to
flourish, where we value the inherent worth and dignity of every child, regardless of race, gender
or disability.”
Keynote speaker Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy will offer the keynote address about the
importance of ensuring the protections of the most vulnerable.
Several additional Connecticut lawmakers will be present.

space over the boiler room at UConn Law School. In the 28 years since, CCA has grown to an
organization with 25 staff and a $3 million operating budget.
