In-person AND remote! Childcare available.

Children are too often removed from their families and placed in foster care because “child welfare” policies treat poverty as neglect. Black and Brown children, mostly from single mothers, are removed at an alarming rate. Meanwhile Philly City Council has not implemented the 2022 special committee recommendation to end this and other discriminatory practices.

In Philly 67% of children removed are Black, despite being only 42% of the population. How are children impacted? What is the foster care to prison pipeline? How are agencies collaborating with ICE to kidnap and detain immigrant children? What resources should be available to help mothers and other caregivers raise children rather than being used to separate families? How are impacted communities fighting back?
