Minisode 4 - Mother's Day In The Trenches: Abolishing the Child Welfare System
/4 women with direct personal experience being investigated by the New York City’s Administration of Children’s Services (ACS) join the WBI show to share how the agency works to systematically separate Black and Brown families. They also lift up the ways in which families are thriving now in the absence of the surveillance typically executed via the public school system.
In response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, National Bailout is bailing out Black mamas and caregivers now through May, to ensure our people are alive, well and safe for Mother’s Day and beyond. We encourage you to give directly on their site in the spirit of Mother’s Day.
