Together, we can create a better child welfare system.
Family Integrity & Justice Works (FIJW) at Public Knowledge® hosted a kick-off national webinar, The Harm of ASFA, on November 2, 2022. Serving as a national call to action, this free national webinar featured a panel of experts with lived expertise and advocates from across the United States.
First Installment of the National Campaign
This served as the kick-off to a larger effort hosted by Children’s Rights. Next, on November 15th, Children’s Rights will hold a panel event featuring the voices of impacted individuals. Finally, there will be an event focusing on legislative reform in December. The campaign events will feature the voices of national experts and advocates from across the U.S.

Based On Our Inaugural Issue of the Family Integrity & Justice Quarterly
Our mission with the FIJ Quarterly is to elevate the voices of those with lived expertise. The inaugural issue of this free digital publication centers around the harm done to families through separation through ASFA. Over 20 years later, this topic is still as relevant as ever. To explore more about the topic and hear from the authors, we encourage you to read the issue of the FIJ Quarterly.
