Is the Bill of Rights merely symbolic? What can it really accomplish?
The PPLC believes the Bill of Rights is an important first step in effecting policy change to positively impact the lives of children and youth in San Mateo County. The San Mateo County Youth Commission, for example, has developed policy-level recommendations for each of the rights. The PPLC also hopes that the Bill of Rights will lead to strategic conversations around how well a particular community is doing in achieving these rights and what kinds of policy changes are needed.
