PA takes a long overdue step to support older youth in foster care pay for college! Working on this legislation was one of my first assignments at @JuvLaw1975; glad to see it across the finish line! #fosteringhighered
Breaking: PA passed the tuition waiver legislation, meaning that starting in fall of 2020, older youth in foster care in PA will be eligible for tuition waivers to colleges across the state. Thanks to all of you who called and fought for this victory! #fosteringhighered
@mindykaling@RAICESTEXAS Thank you for this! Please consider @JuvLaw1975! We advocate for young people in the child welfare and justice systems and would be honored by your support ♥️
But we all need to do more to hold our police, prosecutors, judges, media, and everyone else in the system accountable to end the racist policies and practices that are reflected in #WhenTheySeeUs and experienced by black and brown children and adults everyday
Finally mustered up the strength to watch the first episode of When They See Us. @ava thank you for your unbelievable work telling this heartbreaking story of how poorly young black and brown boys are treated in the justice system #WhenTheyUs
Great to see you on Broadway @VancityJax but even greater to see you fighting for youth justice in @WhenTheySeeUs. From a lawyer for youth at @JuvLaw1975 to an actor portraying a lawyer for youth who needed it most, congrats on today's series launch. #WhenTheySeeUs#123saha
I’m beyond upset about the passing of new abortion bans in Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Georgia, and Ohio. This is Unconstitutional and Abhorrent. We can not tolerate this attack on women’s fundamental rights.
If a fetus is a person at 6 weeks pregnant, is that when the child support starts? Is that also when you can’t deport the mother because she’s carrying a US citizen? Can I insure a 6 week fetus and collect if I miscarry? Just figuring if we’re going here we should go all in.
@maura_edjustice and I talk about the horrors of Glen Mills and the failure of state regulators to protect the young people sent there.
Thanks @TedrickG for this great piece.

California has been sending boys to Glen Mills in PA for decades. The school, thanks to reporting by @lisagartner, is the subject of probes + lawsuits +is fighting efforts to close it down. Turns out, CA regulators were aware of abuse there. From @KQEDnews https://t.co/HZtcxXkX2j
