First Lady Melania Trump launched a financial tool aimed at helping foster children gain financial footing as adults, and many states haven't opted in to the program.
Exclusive Senior Advisor to the First Lady Marc Beckman joined @BiancaDLGarza to explain.
Freedom is more than a constitutional principle.
Individual Liberty is the foundation that lets one create, build businesses, challenge convention, and pursue ideas without fear.
Self-determination inspires different thinking.
It’s the same free will our founders fought for in 1776 – and the same natural rights America protects today.
Happy 250th birthday, USA!🇺🇸
Thank you, @FLOTUS Melania Trump, for your leadership on this important initiative.
In partnership with @ACFHHS, we're giving America's foster youth new opportunities to build brighter futures. With Fostering the Future Accounts, youth in foster care across 23 states will have greater access to savings and investment accounts that help lay the foundation for long-term financial security and independence.
Together, we're investing in America's children and empowering the next generation to thrive.
BECKMAN CALLS OUT GOVERNORS BLOCKING FOSTER KIDS FROM FIRST LADY'S NEW SAVINGS ACCOUNTS
@FLOTUS adviser @MarcBeckman on the Fostering the Future accounts, meant to give foster kids savings for their future: "Newsom... Pritzker... Hochul... Hobbs... Shapiro. NOT ONE Democrat governor has signed on board yet."
“As many of you may know, I fully support the LGBTQIA+ community. But we must also ensure that our female athletes are protected and respected." - MELANIA, #1 NYT Bestseller, (p. 156)
The U.S. Supreme Court has now legally confirmed this opinion:
“Under Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, may schools maintain women’s and girls’ sports for biological females? ... The answer is yes.”
America, we can support the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community and also protect opportunities for female athletes. Respect everyone and keep girls' sports fair.
Both ideals are essential.

Every foster child deserves our unwavering support, and it's time for all states to step up. Governors, commit to strengthening America’s future by pledging to establish Fostering the Future Accounts in your state. Together, we will transform lives and create brighter tomorrows for these deserving children.
Foster children are in all 50 states, but only 23 Governors have pledged to create Fostering the Future Accounts.
These accounts help foster youth save and invest, paving the way for financial independence.
It's crucial that our Governors protect these vulnerable children, ensuring they have the chance for a secure future.
Contact your Governor today and urge them to support Fostering the Future Accounts.
Act now.
