“Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory or an acceptance of the way things are. It's a celebration of progress. It's an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible—and there is still so much work to do.” – Former President Obama And when it comes to children in foster care, there IS so much work to do. At CASA/LA we are proud to be leading the work in changing how foster children are seen, especially the Black and Brown children who are disproportionately represented in LA County’s dependency system. The child welfare system reflects systemic challenges that require our attention. Let's unite to foster a system that supports all children and families, and honors true equality. Take action, advocate, and be the change. #Advocacy #LosAngeles #BeTheChange #SupportFamilies #SupportFosterYouth #CASAofLA #Juneteenth #restoration

CASA of Los Angeles reposted this
We're excited to partner with the LA Times to share how CASA volunteers help our state's most vulnerable children. Learn about Jessica's full-circle moment as a current volunteer who benefited from the support of a CASA when she was in foster care, "A lot of people went in and out of my life, but one of the people who has been there since the start was my CASA."
