Alliance for Children's Rights

More than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, freedom finally reached the furthest west of the Confederate states on June 19, 1865.

Juneteenth is a reminder of profound resilience, a celebration of Black culture and brilliance, and a call to reflect on the work that still lies ahead on the path to justice. How are you reflecting or showing up for your community today? 👇

As Foster Care Awareness Month comes to a close, our hearts are full.

This month, we've witnessed the incredible strength of our community—showing up for young people in foster care, advocating for systemic change, and refusing to accept that young people should have to navigate systems alone.

A special thank you to those who became Friends of the Alliance. Your monthly gift means consistent, sustained support for young people and families—the kind of reliability that changes lives. You're not just responding to a moment. You're committing to lasting change.

If this month helped inform you on the issues children in foster care face everyday, we invite you to keep showing up. The work doesn't pause when the calendar turns. Young people in foster care need steady, reliable advocates year-round.

Instability in foster care can look like constant change—new placements, new schools, new uncertainty.

But consistency changes what’s possible.
With ongoing legal and social support, young people don’t have to navigate systems alone. They have someone who shows up again and again.

This Foster Care Awareness Month, help make that consistency possible.
💛 $30/month keeps an advocate by a young person’s side
💛 $1/day helps build lasting stability
