FIGHTING FOR OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE
The Black Mothers March on the White House is a coalition of black-led organizations that have been involved in the struggle to rescue our children from the custody of the State. We exist to expose the systematic attack on black women and the black family by the U.S. government. The U.S. Government has been able to perpetuate this terror on our communities under the guise of “protecting children” using the Department of Human Services, euphemistically referred to as Child Protective Services.
This petition is submitted in support of the Black Mothers March national sign-on letter demanding the repeal of CAPTA and ASFA and the reinvestment of federal “funding allocated to states’ “child welfare systems”—what directly impacted people, scholars, and advocates often call the family policing, or family regulation system—directly into families, states, and community-based nonprofit organizations doing frontline family support work.

Join us for a joyful celebration in collaboration with Black Mamas Bailout—a space to celebrate, connect, and ground ourselves in community before we march.
