we acknowledge the power imbalance that embedded in the #childwelfare system.our aim is to level the playing field by providing education, advocacy, & support so parents have a better chance of navigating the complex system. #socialjustice #childwelfarereform #antiracism

Indigenous, Black and racialized children have a right to live in dignity and respect. Redirecting resources to address high rates of family poverty is the right thing to do and an effective way help children fulfill their potential. campaign2000.ca/fst-c2000-join… @Campaign2000
