Claiming our Rights, Reclaiming our Children - (formerly known as Unjust Child Removal)
WIT is broadening their scope and strengthening their efforts in fighting the injustices that families are facing in the Child Welfare System.
That is a three step process: first we must know and Claim Our Rights; second we must then use that knowledge to Reclaim Our Children!!
Third, we must advocate for policy changes that are fair to all families, including poor families!!
If you have lost your children to the Child Welfare System, then we want you to know your rights so that you can develop a plan to Reclaim your children;
If you are in danger of the Child Welfare System removing your children, then we want you to know your rights so that you can take the necessary step to prevent that;
We want to make sure that poverty is not being used as a justification to remove our children! Poverty is not grounds to remove children; poverty should be grounds to change the unjust laws to ensure that we can take care of our families!
Our Plan
- to train and institute a “Posse” that will help parents with basic necessities
- to distribute a "Know Your Rights" booklet to give to parents involved in the child welfare system
- to organize families to advocate for policies that promotes families and equal treatment of low income people in the child welfare system
- to hold monthly meetings to discuss our rights as parents, what we need to do as parents to properly care for our children, and what we can do if our children have been removed, and to support each other as we walk through the terrifying process with the Child Welfare System
Stand up against the "OTHER KY. LOTTERY" Don't let them get away with it. Together we can stop the ABUSE OF POWER and the SELLING OF CHILDREN FOR STATE PROFITS!! Together we can make a difference to change the laws and policies. LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!!!
