On the 25th Anniversary of the #Adoption and Safe Families Act we argue that after 25 years of family destruction, enough is enough. It is time to #RepealASFA.

"If we truly want to support children and families, we need to create solutions that invest in and strengthen them. Permanently separating families and severing their legal ties should never be a part of these solutions."

"ASFA is no different than many of the other laws and policies connected to the child welfare system that seek to surveil and punish Black families."

As we look back on 25 years of family destruction, Josie Pickens and I write the time to #RepealASFA is now.

Another excellent piece from @NCCPR on the need to end the state-sanctioned destruction of families that the Adoption and Safe Families Act allows.

It's time to #RepealASFA.
