Abolishing the Child Welfare (aka Family Policing) System

Alan Dettlaff, Maya Pendleton, Josie Pickens, and Connease Warren speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2024. This session was sponsored by upEND Movement. The state has used the forcible separation of Black children from their families as a tool for over 400 years, and this continues today through the modern child welfare system. This session will discuss the harm this system perpetuates and the growing movement to work toward its abolition. The next Socialism Conference will be held in Chicago, July 3-6.
