David Popenoe and Barbara Dafoe Whitehead , two founding endorsers of the Responsive Communitarian Platform , have established the National Marriage Project at Rutgers University. The project's goal is to help revitalize marriage by generating and disseminating knowledge and information about marriage. The project's aim is to help young people prepare for marriage and place successful marriage and family life at their highest level of priority. The community justice task force, one of our four new task forces and led by David Karp , held its first meeting in California. There were nine members in attendance, including Gordon Bazemore, Catherine Coles, and David Kennedy .
