Advancing Youth Equity and Safety
Our mission is to ensure the paramount concern in family court is the child’s safety and wellbeing, support domestic work as labor and end the stigma against alternative families.
How are we doing this?
Creating awareness for the need of a family court system that is equitable, transparent and accountable to child equity and safety, while helping protective parents navigate the system in its current condition.
Creating awareness of the value of domestic work and the need for increased independence of child caretakers, while supporting professions that are overwhelmingly dominated by marginalized parents.
Creating awareness for the option of starting an alternative family outside of the bi-gendered nuclear family, supporting alternative families and ending stigma and systemic harm against alternative families.
