Welfare and Control: The U.S. Child Welfare System
Our submission to the UN Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty, co-authored with JMACforFamilies and Angela Olivia Burton, Esq., details how people living in poverty—especially Black and Indigenous families—are subjected to surveillance, privacy invasions, and the risk of family separation under the U.S. child welfare system. Instead of punishment, children and families need real solutions: privacy protections, due process rights, and family-strengthening resources.
