From the creative discussion: "what would an #8ToAbolition look like for child welfare?" #HowWeEndUP
Bishop Dinkins: there's not just one way to have a voice. When we get the choir in tune and get this abolitionist hum going we can begin to break down these systems. #RepealASFA #HowWeEndUP
From the chat: "Social workers are fed the rhetoric of "changing the system from within," but it doesn't happen. It's all complicity." #RepealASFA #HowWeEndUP

"Every time I go home and I see the disruption in my family, I stand on the frontlines to pay homage to my mother." -Ashley Albert #RepealASFA #HowWeEndUP
" This was a federal law that publicly disrespected my mother and told me it was okay to do the same thing. Never did this law tell me she was dealing with things that were imposed on her by history that she had nothing to do with!" @ashleyalbert #RepealASFA #HowWeEndUP
Why is it important to #RepealASFA in a way that doesn't center social workers, academics, and policymakers, but people who are directly impacted? #HowWeEndUP
"If you are going to be a ally you are creating space for our voices to be raised to such a level that it is blowing the ear drums of those who are doing us harm." @BlaqueWomen #RepealASFA #HowWeEndUP
"ASFA has been doing harm to us even if we didn't know the name. Educating our people, directly impacted people, across the country will make the movement stronger." @StartingOverInc #RepealASFA #HowWeEndUP
