JMacForFamilies works to abolish the current punitive and harmful child welfare system, and create a system that truly supports families and communities.
We believe that the child welfare system, or the family regulation system, does not keep children safe. Over-surveillance of families by mandated reporters with implicit racial biases and the criminalization of poverty contribute to high rates of involvement in the family regulation system.
JMacForFamilies’ legislative advocacy work focuses on two major goals:
To abolish the current reporting and investigative process
To redefine “child welfare” to mean ending poverty and holistically supporting families of color
