Anti-Racism Resources
Family Law CASA is deeply saddened by the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breanna Taylor and the countless other lives that have been lost due to systemic racism in our country. We stand with all people of color in our community who are impacted by this violence and injustice.
Black Lives Matter.
As an organization that works to advocate for children, many of whom are kids of color, we recognize that long-term systemic change is vital and needed to protect their lives and the lives of everyone in our community who has been marginalized by centuries of racism and oppression
We recognize that we are a predominantly white organization and that we have a great responsibility to be allies for our communities of color and we commit to taking action to build a community where everyone feels safe and valued.
Together, we can create a more equitable community and world.
