February 2026 Webinar Recording – The Legacy of Control: The Racist Roots of the Family Policing System
$45.00
The modern “child welfare” system is not a neutral system of care—it is a continuation of historical practices rooted in slavery, Indigenous child removal, the orphan train movement, and the interconnected policing of race and poverty. This webinar traces the lineage of state-sponsored family regulation in the United States, revealing how state control and racial hierarchy have shaped interventions in family life. Attendees will examine how these enduring legacies persist in present-day laws and policies and learn strategies to confront and dismantle systemic harm through historically informed, justice-centered legal advocacy.
Attendees will walk away with:
- A deeper understanding of how racism and state control shaped the evolution of the family policing system
- Practical tools to integrate historical analysis into litigation, policy, and advocacy efforts
- Strategies for advancing community-rooted approaches to family defense
