Advocacy
Co-Creating a System Worthy of Its Children
Foster Child Safety, Accountability, and Family Preservation
For generations, more than 400,000 children in America’s foster care system have lived without the basic protections every child deserves. Too often, they are portrayed as troubled or broken — when in truth, they are children who have been failed by the very structures meant to protect them.
I know this because I grew up in foster care myself. From age one to eighteen, I lived inside a system where silence was the greatest danger. No phone. No hotline. No rights education. No safe way to report abuse. When a child has no voice, predators thrive.
This petition calls for the passage of the Foster Child Safety, Accountability, and Family Preservation Act — legislation designed to give foster youth the tools, protections, and rights they have always deserved.
Key Reforms
- Give every foster child a simple, memorable way to call for help
- Ensure youth have access to communication, not isolation
- Require independent safety checks of foster homes
- Teach young people their rights and how to use them
- Strengthen family-based placement options
- Establish a clear, enforceable Foster Child Bill of Rights
- Expand education and career pathways
Policy
Foster Future Funds Act (FFF)
Every year, the United States spends tens of billions of dollars on foster care — yet when youth age out, they leave with nothing. The Foster Future Funds Act proposes reserving just 5% of existing federal reimbursements in a protected account for each child. No new taxes. No new spending. No new bureaucracy. Just a smarter, more equitable use of funds already being spent in their name.
