Happy Stitch Day, everyone donate to the NICWA out of apology that we let the reboot gain any kind of traction

The National Indian Child Welfare Association is an organization working to protect indigenous children and families through education and advocacy on child welfare and kinship rights. Nobody gets left behind.

thinking about the time I went to a “yelling jokes to the audience” encouraged screening of twilight breaking dawn part 2 and the absolute silence when I made a land acknowledgement joke in the theater - except the two brown friends I went with laughed with me

makes me think of my new fave FD Signifier quote: “the dissonance isn’t cognitive enough for some of you”

anyway - with hoa hoa hoa season upon us here’s your annual reminder that if you give money to Stephanie Meyer ALSO give money to the Quileute - if you give money to TJ Klune ALSO give money to NICWA - etc

I’m not saying yall can’t enjoy shit but if you can spend money on white ppl making money off Natives the least you could do is ALSO give money to Natives

turning reblogs off. Due date passed. The National Indian Child Welfare Association needs your help before September 17th 2024

Text SIGN PBAZHN to 50409 to send this letter to your US House Representative

Please support H.R. 9076 when it reaches the house floor. Native families deserve support from the federal government, especially when it comes to keeping Native children with Native families. This bill includes critical provisions for tribes that receive funding under the Title IV-B child welfare programs, such as: - Increasing funding for tribal agencies and courts. - Reducing administrative burdens. - Enhancing data collection on Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) cases in states.

Please sign and share, it takes about 30 seconds to use resist bot. Thank you!

In their most recent report, "Child Welfare in Indian Country: A Story of Painful Removals", NICWA calls attention to the disparity of Native children in the foster care system, "The Native family is three times more likely to have its child placed in foster care. If circumstances include substance abuse, the likelihood jumps to eight times. There seems to be no explanation but cultural bias." Read the full article: http://content.healthaffairs.org/content/33/12/2256.full These inequities are being recognized, but the question remains, what action is going to be taken. Please help us by signing our petition: lakotalaw.org/action . We would like to have 100,000 signatures by January 6th so that we can continue to appeal to the executive branch regarding these obvious inequities. The more signatures we have, the more weight our message carries! The report goes on to conclude that, "In the long run, the well-being of the child and family is sacrificed. The underlying causes that lead Native children into the child welfare system--poverty, untreated trauma, and substance disorders--go untreated, and the long-term negative consequences of removal are rationalized." In order to support a permanent healing process, "Child safety can best be realized when states and tribes work together, empowering each other to fulfill their roles." Unfortunately, the state of South Dakota has not be on board to facilitate any such healing process. This is why the funding for foster care services must go directly to the tribes, rather than being funneled through an uncooperative state!
