Podcasts about keep families together

The Department of Children, Youth, and Families, which oversees the state's foster care system, celebrated a milestone last week: The number of children in foster care has dipped below 5,000. That's down significantly from 9,171 kids in foster care in 2018 – a reduction of more than 50% in six years.  This is seen as progress among experts who have pushed for states nationwide to keep children with their parents whenever possible. Splitting up families can do lasting harm to kids and disproportionately affects people of color.  But critics of the approach say the policy shift has created a situation where the state may be leaving children in harmful situations too long, especially when parents struggle with addiction or mental health issues.  Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible.

In this episode of The Intersect podcast, Abt's Ginger Pryor (former head of child welfare in both L.A. County and the state of Georgia) and Whitney Rostad explain how real solutions to systemic failures can emerge from disaggregated data, community input, and silo-busting collaborations.

Welcome back to episode 3 of season two of Activista Rise Up! This interview is by far one of the most raw conversations I have had on my podcast and I hope it inspires other fearless activists to continue the fight for immigrant justice, worker's and human rights. Listen to the full interview to learn about Carlos' courageous unplanned interaction with now President Joe Biden during a campaign town hall in South Carolina. This exchange elevated the need to push for a Democratic presidential candidate platform that included a commitment to NOT ONE MORE deportation and a commitment from Democratic candidates to Keep Families Together. Carlos began his activism in NJ, as one of the founders of the NJ Dream Act Coalition. NJDAC today, is a statewide immigrant youth-led organization that advocates for immigrant youth rights locally and nationally.

Confusing poverty with neglect, ridden with severe racial bias, and inflicting trauma on thousands of innocent children and families - the current child welfare system is broken. This week, Richard Wexler, executive director of the National Coalition for Child Protection Reform, shares his goal with us: stop the child welfare system from inflicting unnecessary trauma on so many children, reform the system to truly support parents, and ultimately keep more families together.

One of our favorites is our piece on the local Keep Families Together rally.

Once again this administration does not understand the possible consequences of their actions. Over and over again they have had to admit in so many words that the problem and its solution were far more complex than they had expected. Obamacare was a simple “repeal and replace,” illegal immigration could be solved by a simple “Build a wall.” These problems have not been solved by past administrations because they are complex. First Trump said that family separations were just because he was enforcing “Democrat’s laws” and that he had to separate them (the “laws” he’s referring to don’t exist). Then, his Secretary of Homeland Security says that the family separations aren’t occurring. Then his head of the Border Patrol says on NPR that they aren’t separating children from parents for “more than a few hours.” Then his Secretary of Homeland Security says that they won’t apologize for “enforcing the law” (which doesn’t exist). Then Trump says only Congress can stop the family separations. And now, magically, Trump has found the power to end the separations on his own. The entire Trump administration is either incredibly incompetent or incredibly deceitful…or both. Join us at 1pm EST as we discuss this ongoing crisis at the border. 

Shandy and Amanda went to the Keep Families Together marches. Colleen decides to take up activism in a different way and gives a turtle update.
