TAKE ACTION - and sign onto a letter to Congress!

We are seeking support from national, state and local organizations and individuals dedicated to improving the well-being of young people in and from foster care to sign on to a letter urging Congress to act swiftly to provide crucial supports to older youth facing the stress and disruptions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Advocates have developed a series of legislative recommendations to be included in the next federal COVID-19 relief bill (see letter below). Congressional leaders need to HEAR FROM YOU - their constituents - to understand the urgency and importance of taking action to support older youth.

Please consider signing on to this letter ASAP.

*** PLEASE SHARE WITH YOUR NETWORKS! ***

Thank you!
